Flicker noise corner frequency calculation/simulation - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hello,

I am trying to determine the flicker noise corner frequency for the BFR182 transistor.

Does anyone know the answer or perhaps can you direct me to literature that will teach me how to simulate it?

Thankyou,

Your help is very much appreciated.

Hi Darcy,

The flicker noise (also named 1/f noise or Pink Noise), is determined by internal characteristics of the transistor and is calculated by the simulator based on a SPICE model of the transistor.

Here is an application note which shows how to simulate this and other types of noise:

Good luck!
