Question
For an amplifier operating at 27 °C with.a bandwidth of 20KHz.determine a) thermal noise power in watts and dBm, b) Calculatenoise power in watts if the bandwidth is doubled, c) RMS noisevoltage for 50 ohm load resistance and 50 ohm internal resistance,d) noise factor for an equivalent noise temperature of 75 K and e)noise figure in dB.
Solution
a) To determine the thermal noise power in watts, we can use the formula:
P = k * T * B
where P is the power in watts, k is Boltzmann's constant (1.38 x 10^-23 J/K), T is the temperature in Kelvin, and B is the bandwidth in Hz.
Given that the temperature is 27 °C, we need to convert it to Kelvin:
T = 27 + 273 = 300 K
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
P = (1.38 x 10^-23) * 300 * 20,000 = 8.28 x 10^-17 W
To convert the power to dBm, we can use the formula:
P(dBm) = 10 * log10(P/1mW)
Substituting the value of P, we have:
P(dBm) = 10 * log10(8.28 x 10^-17 / 1 x 10^-3) = -157.9 dBm
b) If the bandwidth is doubled, the new bandwidth would be 40 KHz. We can use the same formula as before to calculate the new noise power:
P' = (1.38 x 10^-23) * 300 * 40,000 = 1.66 x 10^-16 W
c) To calculate the RMS noise voltage, we can use the formula:
V = sqrt(4 * k * T * R * B)
where V is the voltage in volts, k is Boltzmann's constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, R is the load resistance in ohms, and B is the bandwidth in Hz.
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
V = sqrt(4 * (1.38 x 10^-23) * 300 * 50 * 20,000) = 1.38 x 10^-6 V
d) The noise factor (F) can be calculated using the formula:
F = 1 + (T_eq / T_0)
where T_eq is the equivalent noise temperature in Kelvin and T_0 is the reference temperature in Kelvin.
Given that the equivalent noise temperature is 75 K, and the reference temperature is 300 K, we have:
F = 1 + (75 / 300) = 1.25
e) The noise figure (NF) can be calculated using the formula:
NF = 10 * log10(F)
Substituting the value of F, we have:
NF = 10 * log10(1.25) = 0.98 dB
Therefore, the answers to the given questions are:
a) The thermal noise power is 8.28 x 10^-17 W and -157.9 dBm. b) The noise power with double the bandwidth is 1.66 x 10^-16 W. c) The RMS noise voltage is 1.38 x 10^-6 V. d) The noise factor is 1.25. e) The noise figure is 0.98 dB.
