5 Parametric noise in cascaded amplifiers 5 There is a nonlinear model that gives exactly the same results, see Chap. 2 of E. Rubiola, Phase Noise and Frequency Stability in Oscillators, Cambridge 2008, ISBN u input! 1 " 1! 2 " 2 AM PM noise-free amplifier AM PM x 1 y 1 x 2 y 2 noise-free amplifier v output file: cascaded-ampli ampli 1 ampli 2! =! 1 +! 2 " = " 1 + " 2 Flicker: the two amplifiers are independent E{α 2 } = E{α 2 1} + E{α 2 2} S α = S α 1 + S α 2 E{ϕ 2 } = E{ϕ 2 1} + E{ϕ 2 2} S α = S ϕ 1 + S ϕ 2 Environment: a single process drives the two amplifiers α = α 1 + α 2 E{α 2 } = E{(α 1 + α 2 ) 2 } ϕ = ϕ 1 + ϕ 2 E{ϕ 2 } = E{(ϕ 1 + ϕ 2 ) 2 } Yet there can be a time constant, not necessarily the same for the two devices

7 Volume law 7 The analysis of the parallel amplifier suggests that: For a given technology, the flicker coefficient b 1 should be proportional to the inverse of the volume of the active region Gedankenexperiment - Flicker is of microscopic origin because it has Gaussian PDF (central limit theorem) - Join the m branches of a parallel device forming a compound - Phase flicker is proportional to the inverse size of the amplifier active region

MTT u input file: AM-PM-correl a a=b=0.7 c=d=0 AM c x b PM d y noise-free amplifier correlated noise z v output a=0.4 b=0.4 c=0.2 d=0.8 The need for this model comes from the physics of popular amplifiers Bipolar transistor. The fluctuation of the carriers in the base region acts on the base thickness, thus on the gain, and on the capacitance of the reverse-biased basecollector junction. Field-effect transistor. The fluctuation of the carriers in the channel acts on the drain-source current, and also on the gatechannel capacitance because the distance between the `electrodes' is affected by the channel thickness. Laser amplifier. The fluctuation of the pump power acts on the density of the excited atoms, and in turn on gain, on maximum power, and on refraction index. a=0.4 b=0.92 c=d=0 a=b=0 c=d=0.7 AM and PM fluctuations are correlated because originate from the same near-dc random process
