Noise in Physical Systems

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Electrophysics ((SSEP,volume 2))

Abstract

Low frequency fluctuations showing a power spectral density inversely proportional to the frequency are observed in various physical, technical, biological, and economic systems. This peculiar phenomenon which is called 1/f-noise or flicker-noise has stimulated the research efforts of numerous scientists since the early work of JOHNSON [1] and SCHOTTKY [2]. In the past an impressive number of papers have been devoted to the experimental and theoretical aspects of 1/f-noise. Today this subject seems to be more fascinating than ever before. A remarkable sign of growing interest has been the Tokyo Symposium in 1977 [3], which solely dealt with 1/f-fluctuations. Table 1 reviews important systems in which 1/f-fluctuations have been observed. The observed quantities x are given together with some references.
