When something is described as “Low Noise”, it is by the nature of the language a relative phrase. The higest quality magnetic tape is low noise compared to its cheaper sibling for example, but still ...

The realities of physics prevent any of us from attaining the ideal op amp with perfect precision, zero noise, and infinite open-loop gain, slew rate, and gain-bandwidth product. But we expect ...

Noise is all around us, and while acoustic noise is easy to spot using our ears, electronic noise is far harder to quantify even with the right instruments. A spectrum analyzer is the most convenient ...

A common complaint about chopper-stabilized amplifiers is that chopper noise will interfere with the signal and cancel the positive feature of almost-negligible offset voltage and offset-voltage drift ...

Piezoceramic (PZT), or "piezo," actuators are known to be excellent position transducers in the nanometer or micrometer range. These actuators are widely used in many precision applications. PZTs, ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The biggest problem with precision noise measurement is that the noise floor you’re trying to evaluate is frequently ...
