Summary

1/f noise, or flicker noise, is the dominant noise for deep sub-micron CMOS, BJT, FET and HBT devices. It can significantly impact the performance of analog/RF circuits. As an example, 1/f noise becomes phase noise in an oscillator and causes stable issues. A noisy LO signals can severely degrade a receiver?s dynamic range and selectivity.
