random number block in Simulink

how i can set the frequency of the random number? and what is the equation and calculation that used in the block ?

example if i want to 5uvrms with frequency 100 hz how i can set it in the block ?

Hello Anas,

In Simulink, the "Random Number" block generates random numbers with a specified mean and variance. However, if you want to generate a random signal with a specific frequency, like "5 µV" RMS at "100 Hz", you need to use a combination of blocks to achieve this, as the "Random Number" block itself does not directly support frequency settings. You can know more about the block here:

Here's how you can set it up:

• Add a Random Number block from the Simulink library. Set the mean to 0 (since you want an RMS value) and set the variance to achieve the desired RMS value, since RMS = √(Variance), set Variance to "(5e-6)^2".
• To focus the random signal around 100 Hz, add a Bandpass Filter. You can refer the following documentation to know how you can create the Bandpass Filter: https://www.mathworks.com/discovery/bandpass-filter.html

Hope it helps.
