How to Define a Noise Figure Measurement
Using ENR Tables
ENR tables are used to define the noise source(s) used in DUT measurements,
receiver, and user calibration(s). Additionally, ENR tables are used along with
DUT tables, preamplifier tables, and information collected during the
measurement to compute the measurement uncertainty. Refer to

— It is not necessary to use the same noise source in the user calibration as
How to Create an ENR Table
To create an ENR table:
This procedure assumes you have previously set your frequency, resolution
bandwidth, and number of points. Refer to

the noise figure measurement and the user calibration.
will be used in the measurement. In some cases, it might be better to use a
different noise source in the user calibration than will be used in the
measurement. If this is done, it is important to select the ENR table for the
calibration noise source prior to the calibration. And, then to select the ENR
table for the measurement noise source prior to measuring the DUT.
