RC Low Pass (Review) A pole: a root of the denomintor 1+sRC=0→S=-RC
Laplace Transform/Fourier Transform (Laplace Transform) Complex s plane |+p| (Fourier Transform) -p p=1/(RC) Location of the zero in the left complex plane )|=1/|+p| Phase=-tan-1(/p)
Rules of thumb: (applicable to a pole) Magnitude: 20 dB drop after the cut-off frequency 3dB drop at the cut-off frequency Phase: -45 deg at the cut-off frequency 0 degree at one decade prior to the cut-frequency 90 degrees one decade after the cut-off frequency
RC High Pass Filter (Review) A zero at DC. A pole from the denominator. 1+sRC=0→S=-RC
Laplace Transform/Fourier Transform (Laplace Transform) Complex s plane |+p| (Fourier Transform) -p p=1/(RC) Zero at DC. Location of the zero in the left complex plane )|=||/|+p| Phase=90-tan-1(/p)
Zero at the origin. Thus phase(f=0)=90 degrees. The high pass filter has a cut-off frequency of 100.
RC High Pass Filter (Review) R12=(R1R2)/(R1+R2) A pole and a zero in the left complex plane.

Laplace Transform/Fourier Transform (High Frequency) (Laplace Transform) Complex s plane |+z| |+p| (Fourier Transform) -p z=1/(RC) p=1/(R12C) -z Location of the zero in the left complex plane At high frequency, |+p|is almost equal to |+p|.

Understanding Transit Frequency Since fT depends on VGS-VT, fTdepndes on gm/ID. fT depends on L.
Overdrive Voltage as a function of gm/ID gm/ID=2/(VOV)

Use to gm/ID principle to find capacitance • gm/ID→(fT,I/W,gm/gds) • fT=gm/cgg, cgg=cgs+cgb+cgd • cgs/cgg is also gm/ID dependent.
Example • Assume gm/ID=20, L=120 nm, VDS=0.6V, I=100uA. • fT=22.76 GHz • cgg=gm/fT=13.98 fF • cgd/cgg=0.29→cgd=4.1 fF • cgs/cgg=0.75 →Cgs=10.5 fF
Noise is not deterministic The value of noise cannot be predicted at any time even if the past values are known.
Average Power of a Random Signal Periodic voltage to a load resistance. Observe the noise for a long time. It is customary to eliminate RL from PAV. Unit: V2 rather than W.
Power Spectral Density Sx(f1) has unit of V2/Hz. PSD shows how much Power the signal carries at each frequency.
Correlated and Uncorrelated Sources Pav=Pav1+Pav2 Superposition holds for only for uncorrelated sources. (How similar two signals are.)
