Help reading Noise Characteristic graph for sub-nanovolt amp

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on interpreting a noise characteristic graph for a sub-nanovolt amplifier, specifically regarding the time constants of the filters listed in the product description. The user is uncertain which of the four filters corresponds to the 20-second time constant shown in the graph. They aim to understand how the graph would appear with a 1k filter setting. Recommendations include contacting the manufacturer for clarification or exploring alternative products. A helpful resource was also shared to provide further insights into noise characteristics.

These are the links to the specific product I am looking at and its noise characteristic graph.

I understand the graph for the most part, but I am confused about which one of the four filters that are listed in the product description is used to create the graph. The filters give different time constants, but none of them are 20 seconds, which is what the time constant is in the case of the graph.

My ultimate goal is to try to figure out what the graph would look like with a 1k filter setting in the amp.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I tried :frown: but they are mixing reference points and their graphs can be only roughly interpolated. I recommend you ask the manufacturer, or find a different one.
That said, here is a paper that may help explain things a bit. http://noisecom.com/~/media/Noisecom/noisebasics.ashx

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
