Abstract
The paper presents the basic idea of the construction and a practical realization of a novel analog discrete uniform noise generator. The source of noise is a carbon resistor, the noise signal is linearly amplified and its value is limited in the finite small range [xg, xg]. The probability density function (PDF) of the carbon resistor thermal noise in that region is square one. By narrowing the symmetric allowable gap (interval) around zero, PDF of the noise approaches a uniform distribution. The factor of deviation from the uniform distribution is precisely defined and its value is practically negligible. In addition, the paper discusses the application of the proposed dither noise, both in the two-bit and in the multi-bit stochastic digital measurement method (SDMM). It is shown that noise is more suitable for application in multi-bit SDMM, because it is less sensitive to deviations from the uniform distribution.
