Uncertainty Analysis for Noise-Parameter Measurements at NIST

Published

Author(s)

James P. Randa

Abstract

The uncertainty analysis is presented for NIST measurements of noise parameters of amplifiers and transistors, in both connectorized (coaxial) and on-wafer environments. We treat both the X-parameters, which are based on the wave representation of the noise correlation matrix, and the traditional IEEE noise parameters.
