Noise prediction and measurement in SC networks

Noise generation in SC networks differs from that of RC-active networks. Not only is the noise subject to sampling effects as in sampled-data circuits, but certain noise sources are unique to SC networks. In the study of the noise performance of an SC circuit and in the application of noise-reduction techniques, an in-depth understanding is essential. The current status of noise analysis and reduction in SC networks is reviewed, and the need for SC simulation programs to routinely include comprehensive noise analysis is stressed
