NEP Characteristics
For Model 1801, the NEP from 0–10 MHz is 3.3 pW
/
and from 10–200 MHz the NEP is 30 pW
/
.
Therefore the integrated noise from 0–130 MHz is
328 nW
rms
and with a conversion gain of 2.4x10
4
V/W,
the expected output noise voltage is 7.8 mV
rms
.
For Model 1811, the NEP from 0–10 MHz is 2.5 pW
/
and from 10–200 MHz the NEP it is 22.5 pW
/
. Therefore the integrated noise from 0–130 MHz
is 246 nW
rms
and with a conversion gain of 2.4x10
4
V/
W, the expected output noise voltage is 5.9 mV
rms
.
