Below are the equation for MOSFET of 1/f

Vn(1/f noise) = rt[(Kf*gm*gm)*r0*r0/(f*Cox*W*L)]

where Kf = Flicker noise coefficient
f = frequency
r0 = output resistance of the circuit

Problem

1. What is the value of the ferquency? f3db@GBW@frequency that we pick?

Example

kf = 2f
gm = 2.83m
Cox = 1.132m
(W/L) = 102u/1.2u
r0 = 1955
f = 2.66 GHz (Pick any values,example 2.66GHz)

Vn(1/f noise) = rt[(2f*2.83m*2.83m)*1955*1955/(2.66G*1.132m*102u*1.2u)]

= 14.52 uV/rt(Hz)

But...in simulation, it gives 9.8 uV/rt(Hz)!

Is my calculation is true?
Hope someone could help! :)
 

One clue is that the two answers are related by the factor square root of 2. This points to peak vs. RMS or other such things.
 

Did you mean Calculation = Simulation*rt[2] ?

I've tried to calculate them but still don't get the exatc value!

Simulation = 9.8 uV/rt[Hz]
Calculation = 14.52 uV/rt[Hz]

New Equation = 9.8u*rt[2]
= 13.85 uV/rt[Hz]
* Differ about 0.67u, is this value is acceptable?

Sorry to ask a silly question...
I'm 'blur' on noise analysis... 8O

I've tried to use the factor of rt[2] but it can't be used for lower freq!

Example

Simulation = 74 uV/rt[Hz]
Calculation = 74.9 uV/rt[Hz]

New Equation = Simulation*rt[2]
= 74u*rt[2]
= 105.9 uV/rt[Hz] - differ with previous calculation=74.9 uV/rt[Hz]

Help me.... :cry:
