Narrow band Noise generation

Matt Joseph — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 08:14:42 -0400

I am trying to generate some narrow band noise. I have so far used
the rand object to generate white noise but am now unsure as to how
to go on from there. I eventually want to have a sample of sound to
use.

Thanks Matt

You might consider using the WGN or AWGN functions to generate your white
noise signals. For more info, type:

    doc wgn

    OR

    doc awgn

at the command prompt.

Once you have your white noise signal, try passing it through a low-pass
filter to create narrowband noise.

I don't seem to get any info when typing
doc wgn or doc awgn

Do you have to have a specific version of Matlab for this?

I do not have this toolbox installed and as it is not my Matlab I
cannot install this...any one got any other ideas about how to tackle
this problem?

The function RANDN will generate a sequence of normally-distributed random
numbers, with mean 0 and variance 1. Try the following code:

  % Parameters:

  N = 2048; % Number of data points
  mu = 0; % mean
  sigma = 3; % standard deviation

  % White gaussian noise sequence:

  x = mu + sigma*randn(1,N);

  % Autocorrelation:

  R = xcorr(x);
  plot(R);

This code will generate a WGN sequence with 2048 elements with mean 0 and
standard deviation 3, and then compute and plot the autocrrelation function.

What's wrong with simply rand() passed through a band-pass filter?

That works too. The function RAND, however, generates a uniform
distribution, whereas RANDN generates a normal distrubution.

I use randn() + IIR fileter for narrow band generation.

However, I think it is not a so-good way, because:

you must re-scale the output to determine the nb noise power.

Anyone has some other good method?

Don't top post. It makes the thread hard to follow.
Put your reply UNDERNEATH.

You can use phase randomisation - search for that term in this
newsgroup.
