Y-Factor vs. Cold-Sourced Noise Measurement of RF/Microwave LNAS

erzia-update-y-factor-cold-source

There are several methods for making noise figure (NF) measurements of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave low noise amplifiers (LNAs), each with a wide number of options, instruments, and techniques. In a recent Tech Brief, Erzia reviews how we came up with an approach using standard laboratory equipment that can easily be followed by trained personnel…
