/* ****************************************************************************************************************************** */ The Federal Standard 1037C Telecommunications Glossary defines white, pink, blue and black. http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/fs-1037 /* ****************************************************************************************************************************** */ White noise: Noise having a frequency spectrum that is continuous and uniform over a specified frequency band. Note: White noise has equal power per hertz over the specified frequency band. Synonym additive white gaussian noise. Pink noise: In acoustics, noise in which there is equal power per octave. Blue noise: In a spectrum of frequencies, a region in which the spectral density, i.e. , power per hertz, is proportional to the frequency. Black noise: Noise that has a frequency spectrum of predominately zero power level over all frequencies except for a few narrow bands or spikes. Note: An example of black noise in a facsimile transmission system is the spectrum that might be obtained when scanning a black area in which there are a few Random white spots. Thus, in the time domain, a few Random pulses occur while scanning. /* ****************************************************************************************************************************** */
