Which of the noise types is dominant in Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MESFET) when compared to Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)?
- A. Thermal Noise
- B. Shot Noise
- C. Flicker Noise
- D. All of the above
Answer: C. Flicker Noise
Explanation: 1/f noise, also known as flicker noise, is much higher in field-effect transistors (like MOSFETs and MESFETs) than in BJTs due to surface traps and generation-recombination centers. Thus, flicker noise is dominant in MESFETs compared to BJTs.
