If I want to generate some Additive White Gaussian Random Noise on top of my signal, how should I do it, if my waveform is triangular instead of being rectangular. Because I am sure I have to somehow account for this in the noise variance, but I don't know how?

  • \$\begingroup\$ @TonyStewart.EEsince'75 yes, I need it for BER simulation \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @TonyStewart.EEsince'75. No I just need it for signal to noise (p-p).... Not interested for second harmonic \$\endgroup\$

Here is triangle-wave with 10db SNR random noise superimposed. The signal frequency is 1MHz; the noise bandwidth is 50MHz (set by the sample-spacing used to generate the waveform).

The lower waveform shows the output of a 3MHz L+C 2-pole low-pass-filter
