Questions & Answers

Q: What is white noise in digital signal processing?

In digital signal processing, white noise refers to a random process characterized by uncorrelated random variables, with a covariance function of zero for all non-zero values of K.

Q: What is the criteria to identify a white noise random process?

A random process can be classified as white noise if its auto-covariance function is zero for all non-zero values of K, indicating that the random variables are uncorrelated.

Q: What is the difference between white Gaussian noise and white noise?

White Gaussian noise is a specific type of white noise where the random variables follow a Gaussian distribution. It is characterized by zero mean and unit variance.

Q: Can white noise have infinite variance?

Yes, white noise random processes can have infinite variance, depending on the individual variances of the underlying random variables.
