APPENDIX A: PHYSICAL NOISE SOURCES AND NOISE CALCULATIONS1Problem A.1All parts of the problem are solved using the relationVrm s=p4kT RBwherek=1:381023J/KB=30MHz= 3107Hza. ForR= 10;000ohms andT=T0= 290KVrm s=p4 (1:381023) (290) (104) (3107)=6:93105V rms=69:3V rmsb.Vrm sis smaller than the result in part (a) by a factor ofp10 = 3:16:ThusVrm s= 21:9V rmsc.Vrm sis smaller than the result in part (a) by a factor ofp100 = 10:ThusVrm s= 6:93V rmsd. Each answer becomes smaller by factors of2;p10 = 3:16;and10, respectively.Problem A.2UseI=IsexpeVkT1We wantI >20IsorexpeVkT1>20.a.
