What is noise bandwidth?

  • A.The 3 dB bandwidth of the filter response
  • B.The bandwidth over which the signal is transmitted
  • C.The frequency range in which noise is measurable
  • D.The equivalent rectangular bandwidth for noise

Answer: D

It is the width of an ideal rectangular filter passing the same noise power as the real one, and it differs a little from the 3 dB bandwidth because real filters have sloping skirts. Using the 3 dB figure in a noise calculation introduces a small error, usually a few per cent. The transmitted bandwidth is a property of the signal. And noise is measurable everywhere. Defining an equivalent rectangle is the standard way of reducing a shaped response to one number.
