Summary

Noise is an important aspect of what limits the performance of communication systems. As such, it is important to understand the statistical properties of noise. Noise at the input of a receiver will affect the performance of a communication system. The received signal consists of the desired signal plus noise. Because receivers filter the received signal, it is important to be able to characterize the noise out of a linear system (i.e. a filter).
