Tests of Gaussian statistical properties of 1/f noise

Abstract
Two statistical tests of 1/f noise—histograms of noise power in time-frequency windows and covariance matrices of noise power in separate octave bands—were used to determine deviations from Gaussian statistics. In silicon, bismuth, and some carbon granule resistors no non-Gaussian effects were found. One carbon resistor showed clear non-Gaussian behavior. The significance of the results for models of the origins of 1/f noise is discussed.
