Noise Receiver Modules And Noise Switching Modules

Noise Parameters are the non-50Ω extensions of Noise Figure, and are an important modeling and model validation tool to understand how a device-undertest’s performance changes as a function of source impedance. Noise Parameter measurements are typically performed
using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to measure the S-Parameters of the DUT, and a Noise Analyzer (either Noise Figure Analyzer NFA or Spectrum Analyzer SA) to measure the noise power of the DUT. Noise parameters are calculated from a combination of known
source impedances, S-parameters and noise powers.
