Electrical Noise Sources (395 words)
Electrical noise can be annoying when it causes audible or visual interference in radios and televisions.
Radiated noise is propagated through the air, while conducted noise is present on power and signal lines.
The best rule is to prevent noise from escaping its source, but this isn't always easy to do, and in some cases, proper filtering would cost more than a manufacturer is willing to pay.
noise. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 (264 words)
Electrical noise consists of electrical currents or voltages that interfere with the operation of electronic systems.
Electrical noise limits the sensitivity of radio receiving systems and, when present at high enough levels, may cause false outputs from digital circuits.
The noise can be from the detectors themselves, the electrical amplifiers that amplify the detector outputs, or thermal noise, which is caused by the vibration of atoms and molecules.
