Abstract

A generalized matrix approach to noise analysis of multiport networks with arbitrary topology is presented. The network may be composed of any number of passive components and active two-port devices. The method is direct and easy to follow and has been implemented in a computer program. The program is based on admittance matrix formulation and noise current sources of each device and their correlations. For MESFET devices, one can supply the noise parameters of each device or its physical and geometrical parameters for evaluation of the noise sources and their correlations
