    • Method for measuring noise parameters of microwave two-port 

      Lázaro Guillén, Antoni; Pradell i Cara, Lluís; O'Callaghan Castellà, Juan Manuel (Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1998-06)
      Article
      Accés obert
      A new tuner-based method for measuring the four noise-parameters of a two-port is proposed. It makes use of a novel measurement ratio that includes noise powers and mismatch factors simultaneously. In contrast to previous ...
    • Thermal noise in a finite bandwidth 

      Vargas Drechsler, Manuel; Pallàs-Areny, Ramon (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2001-12-31)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In a practical circuit, the output noise due to the thermal noise of a resistor will depend on the actual transfer function of the noise source. The bandwidth will never be infinite because the transfer function of either ...
    • VCO phase noise and sideband spurs due to substrate noise generated by on-chip digital circuits 

      Méndez Villegas, Miguel Ángel; Osorio Tamayo, Juan Felipe; Mateo Peña, Diego; Aragonès Cervera, Xavier; González Jiménez, José Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
