Reply To: noise figure measurement

Hi Andrew,

I spent a little more time then I wanted. The function is working nicely and is producing results that are close to what the Eaton is measuring. I have seen peeks in NF at about 850MHz, but this is only with one DUT and I have no idea why…

Exporting the complete hot/cold data could probably be also a nice feature.

An application note of how the measurement is done could also be very helpfull. Especially what is done with the input attenuator and the preamp. That also leads to the question what NF the BB60C has. I have not found any informations about this.

One more automation step could be evaluating the optimal RefLevel, but the first one is definately temporary storing the noise source
cal to skip steps 1 and 2 of the four steps when you want to repeat the measurement

Thanks for this feature.
