8. NOISE FLOOR TEST
Description
The noise floor test checks the noise floor for the receiver ports of the ENA. The noise
floor is tested by performing load-ended absolute measurements with the test ports
terminated with “Load” devices. 16 times with segment sweep points for specified
frequency ranges. The measurement data calculating the RMS deviation value from the 16
measurement data for each sweep frequency point. The maximum RMS deviation value in
each frequency range is extracted to determine the noise floor performance.
