A new noise parameter measurement method results in more than 100x speed improvement and enhanced measurement accuracy

Abstract

A new method for noise parameter measurements is introduced, with better than 100times speed improvement over traditional methods. The setup is simple and easy to configure, and the entire calibration and measurement process is very fast, making dense frequency spacing practical. The new method produces smoother data with lower scatter, and the dense frequency spacing eliminates shifts due to aliasing and makes it easier to identify the scatter and outliers.
