Abstract :
Studies in fields as dissimilar as remote sensing and radio astronomy often require calculation of noise generation and propagation through a multilayered structure. Signal flow graphs are very powerful in the handling of multiple reflections, and in this article is derived the flow graph equivalent source for noise emission in a lossy transmission medium.
