White Noise
The White Noise block generates random values that are normally distributed
around a mean. Its current output value does not depend on any previous output
value. This block is especially useful when you add it to another signal to
simulate noise.
This figure shows the output from a White Noise block. The Disturbance Mean is
0 and the Disturbance Variance is 1.0.
To specify the range of output values, set the attributes Disturbance Mean and
Disturbance Variance. Disturbance Mean is the mean output value, and Disturbance Variance is the variance of the output values.
Configuring
This is the configuration panel for the White Noise block.
Example
The White Noise block in this figure adds noise to a Sine Wave signal. The Disturbance Mean is 0.0 and the Disturbance Variance is 0.025.
