| Noise figure Q - RF Cafe Forums | ||||||
|
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts. James Post subject: Noise figure Q. Unread postPosted: Thu May 13, 2004 6:55 pm If a filter has 1dB IL at ambient, the noise figure is 1dB. If at hot temperature, the filter has 1.5dB IL, will the NF be higher than 1.5dB? Top Guest Post subject: Noise Figure will remain 1.5 Unread postPosted: Fri May 14, 2004 6:57 am At higher temperature the overall noise power floor will be higher (KTB). However, noise figure is the ratio between the signal to noise ratio at the output to the signal to noise ratio at the input therefore the noise floor is cancelled out and what is left is the additive noise from the filter, or what you know as noise figure. In this case the additive noise is 1.5dB, which is the noise figure. Top Itay Post subject: Correction to the formula Unread postPosted: Fri May 14, 2004 10:48 am Correction to the ratio you provided, the noise figure is the ratio between the S/N in the input to the one in the output. Thanks, Itay Reiss Top Tony Kurlovich Post subject: Consider Unread postPosted: Tue May 18, 2004 11:38 am When NF is tested over temprature, is the ENR source in the chamber? Most people have it out side the chamber and NF is calculated based on an ambient reference temp. Posted 11/12/2012 | ||||||
