Description Kipp 2009-06-21 10:21:02 UTC
Stationary white Gaussian noise is the prototypical noise model used in signal processing research.  It would be helpful if audiotestsrc could generate this kind of noise.

add support for stationary white Gaussian noise

This patch adds support for stationary white Gaussian noise.  The Box-Muller algorithm is used to generate pairs of independent normally-distributed random numbers.

histogram of Gaussian noise output

Here is a histogram demonstrating the output of the patch above.  The theoretical probability density is superimposed on the observed distribution of outputs of the noise generator.

    audiotestsrc: Add support for generating gaussian white noise
    
    This patch adds support for stationary white Gaussian noise.
    The Box-Muller algorithm is used to generate pairs of independent
    normally-distributed random numbers.
    
    Fixes bug #586519.
