7.6. Noise Equivalent Power (NEP)
Each point on this curve was calculated by integrating the noise power from DC to
the given frequency value and then dividing by the square root of that bandwidth.
The NEP gives the amount of input power required to match the output noise level.
The actual output noise level (in mV
RMS
) can be calculated by multiplying the data
in this graph by the conversion gain and the square root of the bandwidth.
