Abstract :
Available techniques for the determination of compact cyclostationary noise models starting from the modulation of small-signal, stationary noise models are described and compared in a critical discussion. Two modulation approaches are considered, and their results are checked against physics-based noise simulations for two simple devices, showing that device-dependent strategies and careful comparison with experimental results are necessary for devising accurate models.
