Four channels cross correlation method for high sensitivity current noise measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate how it is possible to increase the sensitivity of current noise measurement systems by exploiting the properties of a differential transconductance amplifier coupled with a four channels measurement system. In particular, it is demonstrated that, in proper conditions and by a proper elaboration of the acquired signals, the noise contribution coming from the active and passive devices that make up the transresistance amplifier can be virtually eliminated. The method is validated by means of actual measurements in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach we propose.

A new correlation method for high sensitivity current noise measurements.
The properties of a differential transconductance amplifier coupled with a four channel measurement system are exploited in order to reach a very high sensitivity in current noise measurements. In particular, it is demonstrated that, in proper conditions, the noise contributions coming from the active and passive devices that make up the transresistance amplifier can be virtually eliminated.

متن کاملEmpirically determined finite frequency sensitivity kernels for surface waves
S U M M A R Y We demonstrate a method for the empirical construction of 2-D surface wave phase traveltime finite frequency sensitivity kernels by using phase traveltime measurements obtained across a large dense seismic array. The method exploits the virtual source and reciprocity properties of the ambient noise cross-correlation method. The adjoint method is used to construct the sensitivity k...
متن کاملA Phase Noise Reduction Technique in LC Cross-coupled Oscillators with Adjusting Transistors Operating Regions
In this paper, an intuitive analysis of a phase noise reduction technique is done, and then a modified structure is proposed to achieve higher phase noise reduction than the original one. This method reduces the impact of noise sources on the phase noise by decreasing closed-loop gain in zero-crossings points and moving this high closed-loop gain to the non-zero-crossings points. This reduction...
متن کاملA Comparison between Transcutaneous Bilirubin (TcB) and Total Serum Bilirubin (TSB) Measurements in Term Neonates
Background: Transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TCB) is a simple method for estimating bilirubin levels in neonates. This method is noninvasive, quick, and painless. We aimed to compare serum and cutaneous bilirubin measurements in term neonates.Method: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 200 neonates with icter with birth weights of at least 2500 grams were studied. TCB was measured using a...
متن کاملA spectral synthesis method to suppress aliasing and calibrate for delay errors in Fourier transform correlators
Context. Fourier transform (or lag) correlators in radio interferometers can serve as an efficient means of synthesising spectral channels. However aliasing corrupts the edge channels so they usually have to be excluded from the data set. In systems with around 10 channels, the loss in sensitivity can be significant. In addition, the low level of residual aliasing in the remaining channels may ...
