Problem

An operational amplifier's output has a white noise density of 8 nV/Hz8\,\mathrm{nV/\sqrt{Hz}}. It drives a first-order low-pass filter with corner frequency fc=2.0 kHzf_c = 2.0\,\mathrm{kHz}. ((a)) Calculate the noise-equivalent bandwidth of this filter. ((b)) Calculate the rms noise voltage passed by the filter.
