noise‐power measurementsspectrum analysisvector network analyzer spectrumOne of the challenges in noise‐figure measurements is in determining the noise figure of systems that integrate the low‐noise amplifier (LNA) stage into a singleヽhip downヽonverter, where the output is not at the same ...
Of these parameters, noise figure is unique in that it is suitable not only for characterizing the entire system but also the system components such as the pre-amplifier, mixer, and IF amplifier that make up the system. By controlling the noise figure and gain of system components, the desig...
Noise figure is a figure-of-merit that describes the degradation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to added output noise power (No) of a device or system when presented with thermal noise at the input at standard noise temperature (T0, typically 290 K). For amplifiers, the concept can...
A low-noise amplifier (LNA) is commonly found in all receivers. Its role is to boost the received signal a sufficient level above the noise floor so that it can be used for additional processing. The noise figure of the LNA therefore directly limits the sensitivity of the receiver. Minimum...
The Output Display plot shows the power spectrum of the signal and noise at the output of the receiver. The measured PSD of –102 dBm/Hz for each tone is consistent with the 40-dB combined gain of the amplifier and mixer. The noise PSD in the figure is shown to be approximately 50 dB...

We occasionally receive inquiries about the noise figure of log amps. Whether this is a valuable metric in their common use as power measurement elements is for the user to decide. However, whenever a log-limiting amplifier is used in the signal path (in PM or FM applications), noise figure...
When an amplifier’s voltage and current noise are high enough, there may be no value of input resistance for which Johnson noise dominates. This is demonstrated by the figure nearby, which compares voltage and current noise noise for several Analog Devices op amp types, for a range of ...
The designs cover broad octave bandwidths ranging from 10 MHz up to 50 GHz, with a 3 dB typical noise figure and gain levels ranging from 25 to 60 dB. Broadband performance covers popular market bands including UHF, VHF, L, C, S, X, Ku, Ka and up to V band. The...
