How to Define a Noise Figure Measurement
— User Calibration Noise Source Reflection Coefficient, ENR Uncertainties
— Controlling the Uncertainty Calculation and Display

As in the case of the DUT, In addition to entering the magnitude reflection
coefficient values, the uncertainty calculation takes into account the

distribution ( Distribution) and specified style (Spec Style) for the
preamplifier reflection coefficient value.
and ENR values (User Calibration Only):
These are identical to the noise source values entered for the measurement,
but are entered prior to performing the user calibration (Run User Cal).

When enabled, uncertainty bars are displayed on the data trace, indicating
the uncertainty range for the current Noise Figure, Noise Factor, or Noise
Temperature measurement. By default, the displayed uncertainty range is
the measured data +/- the default coverage factor of two times the
calculated standard deviation (2

any of the individual contributors (user calibration (User Cal Uncert),
mismatch uncertainty (Mismatch Uncert), ENR uncertainty (ENR Uncert), or
jitter uncertainty (Jitter Uncert) may be excluded from the uncertainty
analysis.
