A Question

Hi
i want to generate high frequency noise with fpgas
i do not know how i can do it
with which IC or with which software?
imagine iwant to generate a high frequency signal with random amplitude.
thanks a million

Others have mentioned LFSRs, which might be exactly what you are looking for.

An alternative is "true hardware random number generators", such as
the "Whirlygig RNG".
The people at the "Way of the exploding head" (?) have documented that
random number generator extremely well, including exactly what chips
and what software was used.
"The Design and Analysis of a True Random Number Generator in a Field
Programmable Gate Array" by Paul W. Kohlbrenner is a similar system.
