 NoiseBuster.net :: NoiseBuster Noise Cancelling Earmuffs for Safety ::
A new innovation in hearing protection, the NoiseBuster® Active Noise Reduction Safety Earmuff combines superior passive hearing protection (ANSI Certified 26 NRR) with the most advanced active noise reduction ("ANR") technology.
Noises generated by engines, fans, motors and other similar devices are typically dominated by low frequencies--frequencies that cannot be stopped by passive earmuffs.
Because low-frequency noise masks speech, it is difficult for a person to hear and comprehend speech and warning signals when exposed to such noise.

In telecommunication, noise figure (NF) is the ratio of the output noise power of a device to the portion thereof attributable to thermal noise in the input termination[?] at standard noise temperature (usually 290 K).
In heterodyne systems, output noise power includes spurious contributions from image-frequency transformation, but the portion attributable to thermal noise in the input termination at standard noise temperature includes only that which appears in the output via the principal frequency transformation of the system, and excludes that which appears via the image frequency transformation.

 TechOnline | A Time-Domain-Based Technique for Noise Measurements
This article presents a time-domain-based technique to determine noise factor (or noise temperature) of a device with a low desired output frequency.
The technique is based on the Y-factor method and sampling of the noise output waveforms for a hot and a cold noise source at the system input.
Since the Y-factor describes the ratio of hot/cold noise powers, this constant is irrelevant—it appears in both the numerator and denominator of the Y-factor.

 How Quantization and Thermal Noise Determine an ADC's Effective Noise Figure - Maxim/Dallas
The following discussion assumes that the noise is flat across the converter's Nyquist band and provides a designer with the means to determine an estimate for the ADC effective noise figure.
This places the SNR noise level (in dBm) in a 1Hz bandwidth, which can be directly compared to the input noise of the converter, which is the theoretical thermal noise floor limit, KTB.
The noise density for the oversampled converter is defined in the frequency bandwidth for which the converter is designed, and the SNR is normalized to that particular bandwidth to obtain the spot noise in dBc/Hz.

 LO Phase Noise Report
The LO Phase Noise Report displays the effects of mixer LO noise on the system.
Noise contributions are based on the mixer(s) having symmetrical upper and lower side-band power spectral density characteristics (additional information regarding SysCalc's SSB noise modeling can be found in Mathematical Definitions and Derivations).; therefore, the total mixer noise power is based on twice the equivalent SSB noise power in the bandwidth defined by the system.
The input noise power is determined by the system bandwidth, source temperature and effective system noise temperature, i.e., KB(Ts+Te).

 Analog Noise
To effectively remove noise from DC signals your code must balance averaging time (you can't average forever because an answer is needed eventually, and averaging over a changing signal distorts the result) versus noise reduction.
Instead of trying to model the input data (which, after all is more or less just a DC signal and really hard to do anything with), model the noise and remove it.

Common mode rejection is valuable for voltage input conditioners when the two input leads pass sources of electrical noise that capacitively couple the noise to both leads as a common mode signal.
As an example, assume a conditioner is designed to accept a 1 volt input and the drift on the output, for a 30 Deg C ambient temperature change, is 1% of the output.
