5.2.5.1 Controls on the Noise Figure tab
The controls on the "Noise Figure" tab allow you to set up a noise figure (NF) measure-
ment and give access to the related measured quantities.
Noise Figure (tool button)
Opens the Noise figure setup dialog, which allows you to set up the NF measurement.
Quick Setup Noise Figure (tool button)
Opens the NF quickset dialog, which allows you to swiftly set up a NF measurement.
The dialog provides guidance in terms of optimized measurement configuration and
calculates the required measurement and calibration settings, such as source power
and detector times.
If external switch matrices are used, the NF quickset functionality is not available and
hence this button is disabled.
Noise Figure/Gain/Receiver Noise Figure/Noise Density
These draggable buttons select the noise figure parameters to be measured in the
active channel.
"Noise Figure"
Selects the calculated noise figure of the DUT
"Gain"
This button selects the measured gain of the DUT, as used for the
noise figure calculation.
Note that in NF channels, the gain is calculated as the ratio between
b-wave and a-wave, without mismatch correction. Therefore it is not
identical to a vector corrected S-parameter measurement (e.g. S21).
"Receiver
Noise Figure"
Selects the receiver noise figure determined during NF calibration.
"Noise Den-
sity"
Selects the receiver noise density as measured quantity.
