ELECTRICAL NOISE What is it? A linear variable (voltage or current) for which one does not know the amplitude or the phase with certainty.
CONSIDER SHOT NOISE A single electron moving across a region containing an electric field is accelerated. If it encounters multiple collisions so that its velocity is approximately constant over a period of time equal to t, then it generates a current pulse as shown below.
CONSIDER SHOT NOISE, con’t A single electron moving across a region containing an electric field is accelerated. If it travels without encountering collisions its velocity increases over a period of time equal to t , and generates a current pulse as shown below.
CONSIDER SHOT NOISE, con’t A single electron moving across a region containing an electric field is accelerated. One other profile often considered (physical basis = ?) is shown below. Charge transferred is equal to the area under the curve = q.
Normalized power spectral density for the three different pulses. Note that the abscissa could be adjusted for different times versus omega if the effect of a constant length is considered.
Each of the current pulses have a different Fourier Transform. Notice that for small w, all the transforms go to q in value.
The dc current is the average value of the total number of current pulses. For a rate of N pulses per second, the average current is:
The power spectral density of a single current pulse is given by the Fourier transform magnitude squared. Notice however that the value is symmetrical, i.e., the Fourier transform of a pulse is real and F (w)=F (-w). Therefore the two side bands are in phase and will add in phase. Remember cos(x)=cos(-x). Remembering to change from peak to rms amplitudes, the energy in a unit bandwidth for w small is therefore: The power for N of these pulses is: For w small, it doesn’t matter what the shape of the pulses are (see F (w) for the three pulses shapes).
Thermal Noise The rms voltage squared generated by all resistances is given by the next formula. Where h is Planck’s constant = 6.6260755x10-34J-s f is frequency in hertz B is bandwidth in hertz R is resistance in ohms k is Boltzmann’s constant = 1.380658x10-23J/K
