-----Original Message----- Would this type of noise canceler not work on "white" noise also ? ______________________________ White noise typically arrives from random directions, with random phases, random polarizations, etc. etc. etc. and are usually from thermal and uncorrelated sources. -------
<pick on details> If you want to use the proper signal processing terminology here, then white noise is a spectral property and only means broadband. It says nothing about directionality. The corresponding directional term is isotropic noise. So the answer is that the noise canceller works for noise sources with directionality, white or not does not matter as our radios are narrowband anyway. The assumption is that the noise is directional so that two antennas can receive different proportions of signal and noise. The canceller will not work with isotropic noise sources. </detail picking> 73 Sverre LA3ZA http://www.qsl.net/la3za/ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
