I don't think that's right. I would say (be careful to time align the two terms) complexData = data + j*hilbert(data) I noise and Q noise should be uncorrelated.

I have a data set that is complex that i generated by using a hilbert
transform. I wanted to add guassian noise (complex) to the data and then do
some processing.

When i do this, is the correct method to add the hilbert tranform of the
data to the hilbert transform of the noise? Or do i use a 'different' noise
sequence and create complex additive noise to keep the I and Q of the noise
uncorrelated?

If your a matlab user.. The question is kind of asking the difference of

data = [1:10]
complexData = hilbert(data)


noise  = randn(1,10);
complexNoise = hilbert(noise)

OR---------Is noise modeled as

complexNoise2 = randn(1,10)+i*randn(1,10)



Thanks in advance
