Abstract

The circuit of Fig. 4.1 becomes a bit more complex when dealing with a real life amplifier and with a transistor as the first amplifying stage. In most cases, the noise production of FETs or valves becomes higher than that of Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs). Therefore, we have to dive rather deep into the noise making elements of BJTs. I do not discuss all the theories of modelling transistors. This can be done by studying some other publications After many trials, I found out that the adapted model for audio frequencies of Fig. 5.2 is very useful for practical noise calculations. For the audio band, it is derived from the so-called π-model that is given in Fig. 5.1.
