Simulator for Amplifier and Transistor Noise-Parameter Measurements

Published

Author(s)

James P. Randa

Abstract

This paper describes a simulation program that was developed to compare the uncertainties that would be expected with different measurement strategies for the noise parameters of connectorized amplifiers and of amplifiers or transistors on wafers. Both type A and type B uncertainties are included. An illustrative example is given.
