Abstract
The information theory approach to the capacity of communication channels considers mainly Gaussian (white or colored noise Neither natural noise of terrestrial origin nor man-made noise fall into this category. The simplest model treats noise pulses occurring randomly or periodically in time. They may he caused by switching, atmospherics, ignition, electric motors, radio and television receivers, industrial, scientific and medical equipment. Techniques to improve reception under such circumstances include clipping, hole punching, blanking and “smear-desmear filtering”, adaptive approaches and signal processing. Statistical modelling of ignition noise was performed by Spaulding and extensively by Middleton. This led to the construction of receivers, which approach optimality as the signal becomes small.
