2. Sources of electronic noises • The two most commonly encountered types of noise are thermal noises and shot noises. • Thermal noise arise from the random velocity fluctuation of the charge carriers (electron and/or holes) in a resistive material. • The mechanism is sometimes said to be the Brownian motion of the charge carriers due to the thermal energy of the materials.

3. The thermal noise is often referred to as Johnson noises (or Nyquist noise) in recognition of two early investigators.

4. The thermal noise is usually expressed as Sv(f) = 4kBTR (V2/Hz) where k is the Boltzmann’s constant (1.38x10-23 J/K), R is the resistance of the conductor, T is the absolute temperature, and Sv is the voltage noise power spectral density.

6. Shot noise occurs when the current flows across a barrier. It was first discovered by Schottky. • It is often found in solid-state devices when a current passes a potential barrier such as the depletion layer in p-n junction. • The stream of charge carrier fluctuates randomly about a mean level. The fluctuations (shot noise) are due to the random, discrete nature of the tunneling process. • The shot noise has a constant spectral density of Si(f) = 2eIDC (A2/Hz) where e is the electronic charge and Idc is theaverade current.

7. In many devices, however, there is additional noise which varies with frequency as 1/f-, where  usually lies between 0.8 and 1.2. This is commonly known as 1/f noise or flicker noise or excess noise. • The fourth types of noise is sometimes found in transistor and other devices. It is called burst noise or random telegraph noise. It consists typically of random pulses of variable length and equal height. • External noisesdue to interference from electrical or magnetic disturbances are a separate topic.
