Abstract :
The analysis of performance of a resonance-type spin-torque microwave detector (STMD) in the presence of noise has been carried out. It reveals the existence of two distinct modes of STMD operation. In the first (high-frequency) mode the minimum detectable microwave power Pmin is limited by the low-frequency Johnson-Nyquist noise and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of STMD is proportional to the input microwave power PRF. In the second (low-frequency) mode Pmin is limited by the magnetic noise, and the SNR is proportional to PRF1/2. The developed formalism can be used for the optimization of the practical noise-handling parameters of a STMD.
