Hi All, I have read some post before regarding to the adaptive white noise cancelling using simulink, it seems impossible to cancel the noise unless both reference noise signal and the noise in primary signal are generated from the same source. My question is, as of the thermal noise model we have today, is it possible to perform thermal noise cancellation? I think the bottom line is how well the model has to be in order to be applicable on adaptive signal processing? and any thermal noise model published recently given that capability? Thanks for any inputs. thanks,

It certainly agrees with experimental results. Adaptive noise cancellers use some predictabilty of the noise source, and for frequencies less than 100s of GHz (room temeprature), the Johnson noise spectrum is flat! So good luck with predicting the next instantaneous noise value. Clay
