In the Whetstone bridge circuit:
If the circuit is balanced (and all resistances known), and we measure Vg as a function of time, then the fluctuations correspond to $$4K_bTR$$ the well-known thermal fluctuations. My question: what should be used for R here?
Best Answer
R1 || R2 sets the noise at point D ("||" means parallel)
R3 || Rx sets the noise at point B
These two noises (Vd and Vb) are added vectorially thus: -
Vnoise = \$\sqrt{Vd^2 + Vb^2}\$
