Hi,
I'm kinda confused with noise processes

When looking at Chen's "paper Modeling RF Systems",

noise voltage is added as white_noise(pwr,'name'), where
pwr equals (NF-1)*4*K*T*R

Does anyone know how to calculate the voltage AMPLITUDE of the white_noise function at a time t ?
(yes, I know that it's a random process)

I'm trying to implement the white_noise function using a dist_normal process where I can't provide any power argument ...

Regards,

Stefan

Stefan,

You can compute the standard deviation (i.e. rms noise) of the noise from the noise figure and sample rate. If you are using a baseband equivalent model and the expressions I give in my paper, you need to use half the sample rate as the bandwidth when computing the standard deviation. You should also use $rdist_normal instead of $dist_normal. The "r" gives you a random real number. Without the "r" you get integers.
