Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) is widely used in signal processing. Yet the well-accepted result is that, the noise
is uniformly distributed in all eigenmodes is not accurate. We apply a result of the random matrix theory to understand
the asymptotic noise distribution in KLT eigenmodes. Noise variances in noise-only eigenmodes follow the Marcenko-
Pastur distribution, while noise variances in signal-dominated eigenmodes still follow the uniform distribution. Both the
mathematical expectation of noise level in each eigenmode and an analytical formula of KLT filter noise reduction effect
with a hard threshold were derived. Numerical simulations agree with our theoretical analysis. The noise variance of
an eigenmode may deviate more than 60% from the uniform distribution. These results can be modified slightly, and
generalized to non-IID (independently and identically-distributed) noise scenario. Magnetic resonance imaging experiments
show that the generalized result is applicable and accurate. These generic results can help us understand the
noise behavior in the KLT and related topics.
