7. Noise figure as function of jammer power at 850 MHz and 1850 MHz
Noise figure under jamming conditions is a measure of how the LNA behaves when e.g.
a GSM TX interfering signal is at the input of the GPS antenna. To measure this behavior
the setup shown in
Fig 11
is used.
The jammer signal is coupled via a directional coupler to the DUT: this is to avoid the
jammer signal damaging the noise source. The GPS BPF is needed to avoid driving the
second-stage LNA in saturation.
For the Jammer-Generator a low Phase-Noise type is advised. This is to avoid extra
noise caused by the Jammer-Generator at measurement frequency (1575 MHz).
