Abstract
We calculate the spectral density of the noise added to an analog signal passed through a charge transfer device (CTD) in terms of the charge fluctuation associated with each transfer. A correlation between noise in neighboring elements substantially suppresses the energy content of the noise associated with charge transfer for frequencies much less than the clock frequency.
