Dear all,

I would like to know why the unit of Noise is [(Vrms^2)/Hz] or [Vrms/sqrt(Hz)].

In genral, Noise is a random signal.
If we take a Resistor, R as an Example,

Its noise can be given as
Vrms=sqrt(4kTRf)

In the above how the randon noise is modelled to this value?
How come the unit of it is [Vrms/sqrt(Hz)] ?
Where/why does the Probability Density and Spectral Density comes into picture..?

Kindly share with me the basics of noise, which you all know.

Thanks a lot

Regards,
Satheesh
