content: Hello,I'm looking for a book discussing the theory and practicals of noise from the electrical perspective. Could you recommend one?I'm thinking about noise characterization, measurements, best practices in design, etc. Maybe a signal processing book with emphasis on noise ...I'll appreciate your input.Best,Felipe.-

content: Yes, it is a big field indeed. I'm looking at the fundamentals not focused on one specific application. What I know about noise I learned from several sources, books, websites, etc. So I'm looking for one book than summarizes the main concept (let's say math) to use as a reference.@voltsandjolts: thanks for the title, there are a couple of chapters that are very relevant to me, such as the one about electromagnetic sensors.@Conrad Hoffman: I didn't get what you meant by 'Ott'. What does it mean?Best,Felipe.-

content: you could hunt around for a pdf - but maybe not worth a punt on Bell's Electrical Noise - unless the math is your thing?

content: The books by Ott (I have both - the second is a revised and greatly extended revision of the first) are more slanted towards extrinsic interference, rather than intrinsic noise. Conversely, the books by Motchenbacher are more focussed on intrinsic noise. The original version is:QuoteLike Ott's first book, it had a later rework as:QuoteI have a copy of the first (bought, like my copy of Ott, in 1978!) and there are PDF's of the second lurking on the web somewhere

content: Noise in electronics is very often from the SMPS, as almost all electronics has an SMPS.So i guess you are up for SMPS noise reduction.One of the best ways is to use resonant converters.Or increase the Series gate resistor of the fet to slow down drain transition time.Plenty of decoupling caps, and caps snug to the power switching loops with low ESL.Tight layout with go and return having as little area enclosed by them as possible.Use of common mode chokes to reduce radiated emissions.Beware of NiZn ferrite has much higher frequency capability than the other type of ferrite MnZn.And beware interwinding capacitance of inductors may mean your noise just goes straight thru the inductor.Wires going off of a PCB!....common mode choke them. otherwise cables = antenna.
