  • How is RF noise measured?

    To use the "Gain Method" to measure the noise figure, the gain of the DUT needs to be pre-determined.
    Then the input of the DUT is terminated with the characteristic impedance (50Ω for most RF applications, 75Ω for video/cable applications).
    Then the output noise power density is measured with a spectrum analyzer.

  • What is the noise figure of a RF system?

    The noise figure (F) of a network is defined as the ratio of the signal-to-noise power ratio at the input to the signal-to-noise power ratio at the output.
    Thus the noise figure of a network is the decrease or degradation in the signal-to-noise ratio as the signal goes through the network.

  • How is noise figure measured?

    Noise Figure Measurement Methods
    It involves applying a noise source to the input of the DUT and making noise power measurements at the output of the DUT.
    By doing this, a ratio of noise power measurements, the Y-Factor, is determined and noise figure is derived from that.

  • The noise figure depends on these parameters, the circuit topology, and the value of external components.
    If you have all this information, noise figure can be calculated. = kT = –174 dBm/Hz, where k is Boltzman's constant and T = 300 Kelvin).
