  2. Noise-figure meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-figure_meter

    A noise-figure meter is an instrument for measuring the noise figure of an amplifier, mixer, or similar device. An example instrument is the 1983-era Agilent 8970A. The 8970A Noise Figure Meter is a Keysight product numbers that were formerly part of Agilent. [1]

  3. Noise figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_figure

    Noise figure (NF) and noise factor (F) are figures of merit that indicate degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is caused by components in a signal chain.These figures of merit are used to evaluate the performance of an amplifier or a radio receiver, with lower values indicating better performance.

  4. Minimum detectable signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_detectable_signal

    Here, k ≈ 1.38 × 10 −23 J/K is the Boltzmann constant and kT 0 is the available noise power density (the noise is thermal noise, Johnson noise). As a numerical example: A receiver has a bandwidth of 100 MHz , a noise figure of 1.5 dB and the physical temperature of the system is 290 K .

  5. Audio system measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_system_measurements

    The measure of the low frequency (many tens of Hz) noise contributed by the turntable of an analogue playback system. It is caused by imperfect bearings, uneven motor windings, vibrations in driving bands in some turntables, room vibrations (e.g., from traffic) that is transmitted by the turntable mounting and so to the phono cartridge.

  6. dBc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBc

    For example, phase noise is expressed in dBc/Hz at a given frequency offset from the carrier. dBc can also be used as a measurement of Spurious-Free Dynamic Range between the desired signal and unwanted spurious outputs resulting from the use of signal converters such as a digital-to-analog converter or a frequency mixer. If the dBc figure is ...

  7. RF chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_Chain

    An RF chain is a cascade of electronic components and sub-units which may include amplifiers, filters, mixers, attenuators and detectors. [1] It can take many forms, for example, as a wide-band receiver-detector for electronic warfare (EW) applications, as a tunable narrow-band receiver for communications purposes, as a repeater in signal distribution systems, or as an amplifier and up ...

  8. Frequency mixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_mixer

    In the frequency domain, the switching mixer operation leads to the usual sum and difference frequencies, but also to further terms e.g. ±3f LO, ±5f LO, etc. The advantage of a switching mixer is that it can achieve (with the same effort) a lower noise figure (NF) and larger conversion gain. This is because the switching diodes or transistors ...

  9. Psophometric weighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psophometric_weighting

    A major use of noise weighting is in the measurement of residual noise in audio equipment, usually present as hiss or hum in quiet moments of programme material. The purpose of weighting here is to emphasise the parts of the audible spectrum that ears perceive most readily, and attenuate the parts that contribute less to perception of loudness, in order to get a measured figure that correlates ...
