We study the equivalence between two common normalizations used in the derivation of the shot noise in digital optical receivers. The role played by the bit rate in both approaches is discussed. We conclude that one of the approaches is erroneous. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 18: 349–350, 1998.
