Milpitas, C.A. —Linear Technology Corporation announces a new class of CMOS amplifiers with voltage noise comparable to bipolar amplifiers. Generally known for their low input bias current, CMOS ...

This article examines key parameters that contribute to amplifier noise. It explains how amplifier design, specifically the choice of bipolar, JFET-input, or CMOS-input design, affects noise. The note ...

The ongoing evolution of wireless communications has placed a premium on energy efficiency, particularly in applications such as the Internet of Things and short-range wireless systems. Low-power CMOS ...

When something is described as “Low Noise”, it is by the nature of the language a relative phrase. The higest quality magnetic tape is low noise compared to its cheaper sibling for example, but still ...

This paper presents two approaches to improve the performance of RF low noise amplifiers (LNAs) and downconversion mixers. One approach is for noise enhancement and the other is for improving flatness ...

Piezoceramic (PZT), or "piezo," actuators are known to be excellent position transducers in the nanometer or micrometer range. These actuators are widely used in many precision applications. PZTs, ...

This article is about intrinsic noises—that is, noises that arise within an electronic circuit itself, making the response of the circuit to external inputs less than ideal. It is intended for readers ...
