Excerpt from the Preface The principal motivation for this work arose from the obvious desirability of finding a single quantity, a tag so to speak, to describe the noise performance of a two-terminal-pair amplifier. The possibility of the existence of such a quantity and even the general functional form which it might be expected to take were suggested by previous work of one of the authors on…
A symposium on noise, stressing mathematical theory and basic physical phenomena, and covering such topics as cathode noise phenomena, signal amplification in microwave tubes, solid-state noise, and methods of designing low-noise tubes.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
