27 Conclusions Device noise is becoming increasing important for analog, RF and digital design. Measuring noise is hard. Lots of ways data can be corrupted (interference, oscillations, etc.) The Advanced Low-Frequency Noise Analyzer (A-LFNA) adopts a modular architecture to minimize hardware footprint, improve its portability, and reduce parasitic capacitances to improve the roll-off frequency. This has now been integrated with WaferPro Express, enabling you to fully automate noise measurements as a part of a larger and broader suite of measurements. Device Noise Measurements Page 27
