Testing a Noise Source:There are 3 major tests for noise sources.
Figure 1 shows a histogram of an actual noise source taken on a digital sampling oscilloscope. As is clearly shown, this test can quickly determine if a noise source is Gaussian or not.
LinkFigure 2 shows a spectrum analyzer plot. Typically amplified noise sources are tested for flatness over frequency with a spectrum analyzer.
LinkTable 1 is an ENR vs Frequency calibration data table as taken on a highly sensitive receiver. The ENR measurements of the noise source under test are compared to a known reference noise source.
