Flicker Noise and Phase Noise [duplicate]
In the formula above , it is given that jitter due to flicker noise = n x timining variation / t since n/t = 1/f , shudnt the formula be timing variation / f then instead of timing variation * t (...

Does this RF white noise signal look correct?
I experimented with a simple RF white noise generator using avalanche breakdown on an NPN BFR93A transistor. I've used a voltmeter and an ammeter to determine the breakdown voltage and associated ...

Noise density in 1/f region
The datasheet of the ADR1000 voltage reference specifies the 1/f noise density as 30nV/sqrt(Hz) at 10Hz and 300nV/sqrt(Hz) at 0.1Hz. Given that this is the 1/f region of the voltage reference, how can ...

Noises are measured over a bandwidth. Is 50Hz and 900Hz noise the same at 1kHz bandwidth? [closed]
They say noise is over a bandwidth. At a bandwidth of 1000Hz. Is the noise at 50Hz and 900Hz similar? If yes. Please made a quick drawing how the noise at 50Hz and 900Hz look like roughly so I can ...
