Homework Statement
The output of a sensor which produces 10000 electrons is connected to parallel RC circuit with Resistance= 50 ohm, and the capacitance=10pF.
Calculate the signal to noise ratio at temperature 300K.
Homework Equations
SNR= 10 log (power of signal/ power of noise)
Or SNR = 20log ( voltage signal / voltage noise)
The Attempt at a Solution
Voltage=C/Q=624.15V
Power of signal= voltage square / resistance= 7791.2 J
But how to calculate power of noise? The thermal noise = 4kTf, where k is boltzman constant, f is frequency bandwidth. Yet not given , but I can only think of these formula for thermal noise and 10000 electron need to include shot noise?
Please help
