How to Define a Noise Figure Measurement
6. Perform a Receiver Calibration: ( Cal > Run Receiver Cal and follow
prompts).
7. Enter DUT setup type: Meas Setup > DUT > Type
— Amplifier (default),
— Downconverter ,
— Upconverter , or
— Multi-Stage Converter
8. Run a User Calibration (i.e., If you are using an external preamp).
( Cal > Run User Cal and follow prompts).
9. Use Measure to select the type of noise figure measurement:
— Noise Figure ,
— Noise Factor ,
— Gain ,
— Noise Temperature , or
— Y-Factor
10. Use Meas Setup > Uncertainty > Uncert Contributions to Enable/Disable
Uncertainty Contributions:
— Jitter Uncert OFF ON ,
— ENR Uncert OFF ON ,
— Mismatch Uncert OFF ON ,
— User Cal Uncert OFF ON (applies the current User Cal uncertainty to
the current measurement’s uncertainty calculations), and
— Then Back > Uncert Bars to ON .
Overview of Softkey Menus
This sections describes the Noise Figure’s Measure, Measure Setup softkeys,
and related sub-menu softkeys.
1. Define a measurement type.
a. Select a Measure —choose:
— Noise Figure Specify Noise Figure (default) or
— Noise Factor Specify a Noise Factor or
Noise Figure has asymmetrical uncertainty (i.e., log measurement). Noise
Factor and Noise Temperature have symmetrical uncertainty (i.e., linear
measurement). Uncertainty is not displayed for Gain and Y-Factor.
