5.2 Developing an Analytic <strong>Circuit</strong> Model 121<br />

Our approximation of the transimpedance term using the dc value is justified<br />

because we are only interested in the input-referred noise spectrum within the pass-<br />

band where the transimpedance term lies within 3dB of the dc value. To determine<br />

the output impedance of the preamplifier, Z out( s)<br />

, we can follow the same proce-<br />

dure that we used to derive a first-order model for the input impedance. The process<br />

of making successive approximations and collapsing the SFG is illustrated in Figure<br />

5.13. Similar to our earlier analysis of the input impedance, we have been able to<br />

use DPI/SFG analysis to simplify the port impedance down to a simple RCnetwork<br />

as shown in Figure 5.14. As expected, resistance component of the first-order model<br />

is simply the output resistance calculated in Chapter 3 and given in Equation (3.18).<br />

We are now in a position to compute the input-referred equivalent of noise sources<br />
