Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Nachiket R. Naik, Austin J. Minnich, , , | Summary: Silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are of interest as low-noise microwave amplifiers due to their competitive noise performance and low cost relative to III-V devices. The fundamental noise performance limits of HBTs are thus of interest, […]
