Analysis of gravitational antenna noise with the equivalent circuit

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6567201
Various components of gravitational wave antenna noise were analyzed: contributions from the system antenna-piezoelectrics, preamplifier contributions, and contributions from the data digitalization. Also considered are uncertainty effects in convection with the quantized nature of energy and the consequences of the indeterminacy principle. The various noise contributions are subdivided into white noise, that is, noise with constant spectrum in the observation band, and into resonant noise, that is, noise with Lorentz spectrum centered around the antenna resonance.
