Abstract

This chapter tackles all other noise sources of a triode gain stage. It also includes signal-to-noise ratios and A-weighting according to ANSI specs.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Details see Sect. 3.6.

  2. 2.

    Details see next chapter.

  3. 3.

    RS: see Sect. 3.4.

  4. 4.

    The subscript ‘e’ represents the logarithmic expression of a term; eg. xe = 20 log(x).

  5. 5.

    VISHAY application note AN0003—Table 1 (attention: in this AN it is not specifically indicated that the shown NI figures are given for 1 decade only—but from their values and definition point of view they are all referenced to 1 decade).

  6. 6.

    To demonstrate the extra noise production of any un-bypassed cathode resistance and its negative impact on the input referred noise voltage and SNs in TSOS-2 I use the term Gb/Gu only; µ > 20 makes (1 + µ)/µ close to 1.

  7. 7.

    To emphasize the importance of the input referred noise voltage density of any gain stage in the following sections and chapters I will use ein(f) instead of en.i(f)!

  8. 8.

    Details see Chaps. 4 and 5.

  9. 9.

    Details see TSOS-2, Chaps. 13 and 14.

  10. 10.

    According to the “i” or “j” symbol I'm using the Mathcad style throughout the complete book.

  11. 11.

    Usually, we can find such resistors in the value range from 100Ω up to 10 kΩ. It’s o.k. as long as noise doesn't play any role; in case of noise sensitive designs it has to be taken into account. That's why I include it into all SN calculations.
