Noise measurements
The noise model is shown in Figure 62, where:
● eN: input voltage noise of the amplifier
● iNn: negative input current noise of the amplifier
● iNp: positive input current noise of the amplifier

We assume that the thermal noise of a resistance R is:
4kTRΔF
where ΔF is the specified bandwidth.
On a 1 Hz bandwidth the thermal noise is reduced to:
4kTR
where k is Boltzmann's constant, equal to 1374.10-23J/°K. T is the temperature (°K).
