Generate color noise using Auto-Regressive (AR) model

Key focus: Learn how to generate color noise using auto regressive (AR) model. Apply Yule Walker equations for generating power law noises: pink noise, Brownian noise. Auto-Regressive (AR) model An uncorrelated Gaussian random sequence can be transformed into a correlated Gaussian random sequence using an AR time-series model. If a time series random sequence is … Read more

Generating colored noise with Jakes PSD: Spectral factorization

The aim of this article is to demonstrate the application of spectral factorization method in generating colored noise having Jakes power spectral density. Before continuing, I urge the reader to go through this post: Introduction to generating correlated Gaussian sequences. In spectral factorization method, a filter is designed using the desired frequency domain characteristics (like … Read more

Generate correlated Gaussian sequence (colored noise)

Key focus: Colored noise sequence (a.k.a correlated Gaussian sequence), is a non-white random sequence, with non-constant power spectral density across frequencies. Introduction Speaking of Gaussian random sequences such as Gaussian noise, we generally think that the power spectral density (PSD) of such Gaussian sequences is flat.We should understand that the PSD of a Gausssian sequence … Read more

White Noise : Simulation and Analysis using Matlab

Definition A random process (or signal for your visualization) with a constant power spectral density (PSD) function is a white noise process. Power Spectral Density Power Spectral Density function (PSD) shows how much power is contained in each of the spectral component. For example, for a sine wave of fixed frequency, the PSD plot will … Read more
