Filtered Gaussian White Noise (System Identification Toolkit)

Filtered Gaussian white noise is a simple signal that can generate virtually any signal spectra in conjunction with the proper linear filtering. The theoretical crest factor Cf for a Gaussian is infinite, but clipping the Gaussian amplitude to the input signal limit reduces the crest factor. Doing so minimally affects the generated spectrum.

The following figure shows an example of Filtered Gaussian white noise.
