I know it takes V(ONOISE) and refers it to the input _current_ noise, but _how_ is that calculation done?
Thanks! ...Jim Thompson

Well, in LTspice I often plot things like 'V(Q1)*inoise/v(onoise)', which g ives Q1's contribution to the input-referred noise, which in my stuff is no rmally a current.
In a noise simulation, everything is linearized ahead of time, so Zin is a known function of frequency. You can express the simulated noise as either a current or as a voltage, but to separate the contributions of device nois e voltages and currents, you have to use actual algebra. ;)

If I can measure Zin (I can), is it magnitude, or how is it handled? ...Jim Thompson

IMZ is measuring the input current thus providing the transimpedance gain needed to calculate I(INOISE).
Thus I can get both V(INOISE) and I(INOISE) on a single display, and watch current noise go up as voltage noise goes down, thus can quickly find an optimum for the problem at hand. ...Jim Thompson

.ac DEC 101 10 100Meg .noise V(A,B) V_VAC .STEP PARAM PASS LIST 1 2
(Step 1 selects source as VAC, Step 2 selects source as IAC)
VNOISE = V(INOISE)@1
INOISE(A,B) = V(ONOISE)@2/V(A,B)@2*I(IMZIN)@2
Where V(A,B) is the reference output ...Jim Thompson
