Example: Typical Noise Figure Measurement Procedure
This section briefly reviews the steps in setting up a noise figure measurement.
If you are not familiar with this process or would like more information, refer to
"Overview of Softkey Menus" on page 674
Measurement Setups" on page
1. Set up a Noise Source ENR Table:
2. Set the resolution bandwidth: BW >
3. Set the frequency range: Freq/Dist >
4. Set the number of points: Sweep >
5. Use Meas Setup >
6. Perform a Receiver Calibration: (Cal >
7. Enter DUT setup type: Meas Setup >
