Noise Figure

Noise Figure is a metric that quantifies the degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio as a measure of the noise contribution of a device or system relative to the thermal noise floor, specifically distinguishing it from other noise metrics by its reliance on the ratio of input to output signal-to-noise ratios in linear two-port networks.
