  • Abstract
    In this paper an efficient method for calculating the noise behavior of active devices is described. This method offers a general solution for a large variety of transistor and other devices. The method can easily be implemented in any extraction and simulation software and allows determination of LF as well as RF noise behavior. The functionality is demonstrated on a nonlinear FET model. Furthermore, verifications with HP series IV/ADS are given for different devices.
