You've totally lost your units -- 2.8e-7 what? Volts? Into what
reference impedance? Amps? Into what reference impedance?
meters/second? Newtons? Pounds per square inch? Into what reference
impedance?
Go back to your noise power and convert it to watts. The calculate your
noise level in your desired units, given your desired reference
impedance. I assume you want volts, into 50 ohms, but how would I know
that from your post?

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.

hello,
i need to calculate the noise variance of AWGN. i have the following info
Noise power at the receiver:
Boltzmann’s constant -228.6 dBW/K/Hz
Bandwidth = 33 MHz 74.4 dB
Temperature 20 oC = 273K+20K = 293K 24.7 dB
Noise figure of the LNB 1.0 dB
Noise power= -128.5 dBW
i used the following formula
Gaussian_sigma = 0.5 * sqrt(2) * ( 10^(0.05 * noise_level_dB ) )
i put -98.5 dBm=noise_level_dB, the results comes 2.8150e-007 as noise
variance, this is very low.
Can anyone tell me where is the mistake.
thanks in advance
