Noise figure is often the key to characterizing a receiver and its ability to detect weak incoming signals in the presence of self-generated noise. The process of reducing noise figure begins with a ...
RF-to-baseband front ends consisting of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) cascaded with a mixer downconverting RF signals to baseband have become the epitome of RF devices tested in high-volume ...
Noise figure is a key performance parameter in many RF systems. A low noise figure provides improved signal/noise ratio for analog receivers, and reduces bit error ...
This application note describes in detail the steps required to make a noise figure measurement on a spectrum analyzer using the “Y Factor” technique. July 2, 2025 This application note describes in ...
