Abstract
This paper presents a systematic noise analysis method for externally linea r filters, suitable for hand calculations. As an illustrative example, a lo g-domain filter is analyzed. Applying this method to an abstract topology, bounds for signal-to-noise ratio are derived for a class of instantaneous c ompanding filters, when total capacitance or total power are limited.
