Abstract :
A novel method for calculating the amplitude and phase noise of component chains is described. The equations for oscillator, amplifier, multiplier and bandpass filters are discussed. These equations include the upconversion of 1/f noise. A user-friendly CAD (computer-aided design) program for performing this analysis is described. This method is useful for the calculation of amplifier chain noise, fiber optic receiver jitter, and general system noise analysis.<>
