Abstract

A reliable, repeatable and stable generator capable of producing noise with nown or given amplitude probability distributions up to 96 dB dynamic range, commonly found in atmospheric noise VLF/LF frequency bands. A continuous impulse noise amplitude probability distribution is digitally synthesized in a piece-wise fashion in 6 dB amplitude increments. These increments are linearly combined with a digitally generated Gaussian noise component for simulation of VLF and LF atmospheric noise.
