The source of noise in amplifier

AI Thread Summary
Common sources of noise in amplifiers include thermal noise, shot noise, and flicker noise, with thermal noise being the most prevalent. To mitigate this noise, one effective method is to cool the amplifier or preamplifier using liquid nitrogen. While shot noise and flicker noise are also present, they typically pose less of a challenge in high-power amplifiers. Understanding these noise types is crucial for improving amplifier performance. Engaging with community resources can provide further insights and solutions.

hi for every one
I am a new member in tis site.
I hope from u to help my I have a hmoework so I want some help
The question is
What is the source of noise in amplifier & how can treat the noise?
Thank u

There could be millions of sources.
Well, maybe not millions ... but you catch my drift.
Most common is thermal noise, aka nyquist noise. The obvious solution would be to dip the amplifier or preamplifier in some liquid nitrogen :D.
There is also shot noise and flicker noise (1/f noise), but those are much less of a problem (not that they're not, but not in high power amps).

Take your pick.
