- These Noises are generally arising in the active devices due to the random behaviour of Charge particles or carries
- In the case of the electron tube, shot Noise is produced due to the random emission of electron form cathodes
- Partition Noise:
- When a circuit is to divide in between two or more paths then the noise generated is known as Partition noise
- The reason for the generation is random fluctuation in the division
- Low- Frequency Noise:
- They are also known as FLICKER NOISE
- These types of noise are generally observed at a frequency range below few kHz
- Power spectral density of these noise increases with the decrease in frequency
- That's why the name is given Low- Frequency Noise
- High- Frequency Noise:
- These noises are also known as TRANSIT- TIME Noise
- They are observed in the semiconductor devices when the transit time of a charge carrier while crossing a junction is compared with the time period of that signal
- Thermal Noise:
- Thermal Noise is random and often referred to as White Noise or Johnson Noise
- Thermal noise is generally observed in the resistor or the sensitive resistive components of a complex impedance due to the random and rapid movement of molecules or atoms or electrons
