Analyses and modeling impulse noise generated by household appliances

Abstract

This paper describes analysis of impulse noise generated by small household appliances. Furthermore we propose a new model of impulse noise based on the averaged power spectrum and the random phase generation with various phase distributions. The Gaussian, Weibull and Log-normal phase distributions were used to generate random phase. As a result of this approach, new impulses appear – they are different in the time domain but in the frequency domain new impulses have the desired power spectrum and the randomly generated phase.
