Compact conversion and cyclostationary noise modelling of pn junction diodes in low-injection - Part I: Model derivation
Starting from the well known low-injection approximation, a closed form, analytical compact model is derived for the small-signal (SS) and forced quasi-periodic operation of junction diodes. The model determines the small-signal and conversion admittance matrix of the device as a function of the applied (dc or periodic-time varying) bias. Noise characteristics, in both the stationary (SS) and cyclostationary cases, are also evaluated by means of a Green's function approach

Compact conversion and cyclostationary noise modelling of pn junction diodes in low-injection - Part II: Discussion
Starting from the compact conversion and cyclostationary pn diode noise model presented in the companion paper, we present an extensive validation based on comparisons with physics-based numerical simulations. Furthermore, we discuss the validity of two widely exploited system-oriented cyclostationary noise modeling approaches, based on the modulation of small-signal stationary noise spectra. We demonstrate that care must be exerted in the choice of the modulation scheme, unless the intrinsic diode noise is purely white, in which case a simple modulated shot noise approach can provide, with proper inclusion of parasitics, satisfactorily accurate results
