Variance Noise Spectra of 1/f Noise

Abstract
Experimental measurements of 1/fnoise variance fluctuations show the spectrum to depend on frequency to the −0.75 power over the frequency interval 10−5–1 Hz. The variance noise at 1 Hz is 10−14 V4/Hz in the case of current noise in a semiconductor diode, and 10−18 V4/Hz for current noise in a carbonresistor. The probability amplitude distributions of the variance for two different 1/fnoise sources have the same magnitude and skewed shape as those previously reported. That is, the variance exhibits fluctuations as large as 200% and the most probable value is much less than the mean value. For band‐limited 1/fnoise, the variance noise decreases with increasing averaging time.
