#### White Gaussian Noise

I want to add white Gaussian noise of four intensities (i.e. 1%, 2%, 5% and 10% noise to signal ratio) to impact force signals and the acceleration response time histories. Can anyone give me a help?

if you have communications toolbox:
doc awgn
doc wgn

For a single percentage:
y1=3Dy + pc/100*std(y)*randn(length(y),1);

I'll leave to you the upgrading of this into a matrix equation to
compute all the pcs at once.

Hi,
Sorry. I am not good at Matlab. So can you explain me further. what is std (is it standard deviation), what is the meaning of randn, and length (y). my force vectors are [100 300 700 800]. Then how can I add 1%, 2%, 5% and 10% noise to signal ratio to these forces?

Type help std, help randn, help length from the command line. Or read http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/pdf_doc/matlab/getstart.pdf or one of the numerous introductory books available.

Hi,
I went through doc awgn. The first option is Y = AWGN(X,SNR)
What does SNR mean? Is it signal to noise ratio? If yes can I use y=awgn(100,0.01) to add 1% noise to 100N force? Can you please give me an idea?

Time for YOU to do some work, buster.
RTFM.
I for one don't have the patience to spoon-feed you.
After all, your professor gets paid to do that.   We don't.

You might also take a look at the imnoise() function in the Image

Brother HL-1440 Horizontal White Streaks
Whenever I print something out, I get thin horizontal lines (across the paper path) without toner - part of a line of text just doesn't appear.

No apparent damage to the drum surface. I've always used good paper - 20 lb. Anybody have any ideas? Considering that you can buy a new one for \$100, is this even worth buy parts for?

Need to Operate Gaussian Filter on a 3d Array
I am implementing Statistical Fingerprint based traffic classifier.The fingerprint of a protocol is just the Probability Density Function of variables packet size (linear scale) and inter-arrival time(Log scale) of packets in its flows. The best way to implement it is to use a matrix, where a number z at location (x,y) tells us that we saw z packets corresponding to size x and inter-arrival-time y. The method I'm implementing uses Gaussian filter on PDFs to counter effects of noise. Now, the protocol's fingerprint is the set of these PDFs stored as 3D array. Can anyone tell me how do...

Eliminate white border around DensityPlot?
I want to combine multiple frameless (i.e., Frame->False) DensityPlots in a GraphicsArray with no gap or white space between individual plots, and with certain features in the individual plots lining up where the plots meet. Using GraphicsSpacing->{0,0} doesn't do it; the individual density plots seem to have a white border around them. GraphicsSpacing->{-0.1,0.1} comes close to what I want, but with some odd features. Any way to eliminate the white border? [I know about the alternative way to combine graphics using Show[Graphics{Rectangle[-],...}]], but ha...

Does perfect white noise really exist?
A simple question: Based on the classical definition of "White Noise" (a random process which has zero autocorrelation, and a purely flat PSD from -INF to +INF), measurement of white noise to determine these properties (rxx, PSD, mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) poses a paradox: When we measure "pure white noise", we ise a band-limited measuring device (such as a spectrum analyzer), whose pass band is obviously less than the infinite bandwidth of the pure white noise. Upon measurement, the measuring device LPFs the noise to pink noise, which in turn introduces correl...

Color.white vs. Color.WHITE
Way back some AWT colors was predefined as Color.white etc. Then SUN realized this apparent naming style violation and added Color.WHITE etc. As a client application developer I must now choose between the non-standard (and possibly soon-to-be-deprecated) Color.white and the not-backwards-compatible Color.WHITE. I've ended up with new Color (255, 255, 255) instead. Which proves that improvements doesn't always bring the (computing) world forward :-) > Way back some AWT colors was predefined as Color.white etc. > > Then SUN realized this apparent naming style violation ...

White lines on top of of the screen
I'm using a Philips 105S monitor, a 15'' CRT. I've been using it daily for about 4 years. Recently it gives me a problem. After it is turned on and used for about 10-15 minutes, white lines (not perfect lines, more like snow or something) appear on the upper part of the screen, they resemble screen corruption although it is possible to see through it and work on the computer. The width of the corrupted area is about an inch or maybe a little more. They don't go away except if I turn the monitor off, let some time (about 15 minutes) pass and turn it back on. I suspec...

Kalman Filters and Pink Noise
Oddball question. Or maybe just a plea for comments. I'm kind of getting painted into a corner, and the color of the paint is pink. It's looking like I need to estimate pink noise with a Kalman filter. Anyone done anything remotely like this? Know of anyone who has? Did they survive? The method that I know of for simulating pink noise involves running white noise through a filter with a ton-o-poles (our own RBJ popped up in the web search, interestingly enough). I'm kinda planning on doing just that for the kernel in the Kalman, and see if I can find some ...

fan noise control
I have a K8T Master2-FAR M/B that has a bios facility whereby one can set a fan temperature and a tolerance value such that at (temp - tolerance) the fan runs quite slowly and at (temp + tolerance) it runs at full speed. However, when linux (Suse 9.1) boots up this bios function is prevented from operating. Is there a command or boot parameter that will allow the bios to control the fans without compromising other functions? I'm definitely not an expert but I guess from much Googling that it might be ACPI that is overriding this, but my understanding is also that I can't just turn i...

Forcing zero as white in contourf plots
I am plotting climatological data where I would like negative values to be cool, and positive values to be hot. I've created a colormap that goes from red-->yellow-->white-->light blue-->dark blue (basically jet with the middle set to white rather than green) and I can force this cool/negative hot/positive easily by doing: set(gca,'clim',[-maxx maxx]) where maxx is the maximum absolute value of the data. However, the data frequently isn't symmetric about zero so the negative values get washed out because the positive values are frequently a factor of 5 or so larg...
