A Method for Colored Noise Generation
Hristo Zhivomirov · Bulgarian Portal for Open Science · 2018
The present paper addresses the generation of power-law, colored digital noise signals (sequences) with arbitrary spectral slope. In the beginning, brief background information is given about some noise features. Further, a newly proposed method is described, based on generation of a white noise signal, its transformation into the frequency domain, spectral processing and inverse transform back into the time domain. Computer simulations are performed to confirm the consistency of the algorithm, including estimation of the power spectral density and the autocorrelation, along with example of its outperformance in comparison with the corresponding in-built Matlab® function.
