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 ...

The ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array) radio telescope, located in theChilean Andes, has long been a key ...

Cryogenic low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) are essential components in various advanced technologies, including radio astronomy and quantum computing. These amplifiers operate at extremely low temperatures ...

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 ...

Many technical documents have been written on noise analysis. Early on in my career I became obsessed with operational amplifier (op amp) noise. Subsequently, I published a series of application notes ...

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, ...
