So we know shot noise is given by the formula
i_n^2 = 2*e*I_avg*BW
Where e is the electron charge and BW is the bandwidth. I?ve been trying to derive the factor of 2 in the formula. But I?m not quite getting it.
A typical derivation looks at random pulses measured over some time T.. the tricky part is relating the bandwidth to the time T. So here the author s tates that BW = 1/(2*T) and says that?s related to the Nyquist sampling theorem.
But I don?t see it? Is that correct? Help!
