  • Abstract
    The concept of stationarity, using time averages, as applied to electronic noise generators is outlined. Details of an experiment to determine the output stationarity of several commercial noise generators, by evaluating the time variation in their output mean-square values, are presented. Included are discussions of experimental error and inherent limitations in measuring a random signal.
