| 1. | An amplifier with a 0 dB noise figure would be perfect.
|
| 2. | Thus, the noise figure of tube amplifiers increases with frequency.
|
| 3. | The noise figure in this case is 20 dB.
|
| 4. | In most cases only the noise figure of the first stage need be considered.
|
| 5. | The total noise factor can then be used to calculate the total noise figure.
|
| 6. | To obtain low noise figure the impedance of the source can be increased by a transformer.
|
| 7. | At 800 MHz, tubes like EC8010 have noise figures of about 10 dB or more.
|
| 8. | To obtain low noise figure, the impedance of the source can be increased by a transformer.
|
| 9. | From those measurements and the characteristics of the noise source, the noise figure can be calculated.
|
| 10. | Noise generators are used to test signals for measuring noise figure, frequency response, and other parameters.
