Thanks Ken.
If I understand correctly, when output is being sampled at 10MHz, it is obvious that the power is within [0,5MHz] bandwidth, and when input referred noise is simulated using pnoise itself, the whole of the input noise power should still be within the same band. I got confused because of the input double sampling.
So here is a follow up question for the same circuit. Suppose I put a noise source of power kT/C at the input for my double sampled integrator. The bandwidth of this noise source is about 1GHz, so there is heavy aliasing when double sampled. The rest of the circuit is noiseless and infinite bandwidth (ideal components), so no inadvertent loss of noise power. When I ask pnoise to give me input referred noise, I compare the noise density it gives me with sqrt((kT/C)/(5MHz)). I expect these to be equal. However I always get input PSD of sqrt(0.5*(kT/C)/(5MHz)) from pnoise. This was why I thought maybe the input power is spread upto 10MHz. I'm looking for an explanation as to why this is happening. Any ideas?
Thanks and regards, Sanjay
