Does the noise figure application on the PNA-X (option 029) provide a full noise-parameter system (tuners and software)?
No, we don’t provide a full noise-parameter system for two reasons:
- Using an ECal as an impedance tuner does not present a wide-enough range of source impedances to adequately calculate noise parameters for devices not matched to 50 ohms.
-
We have solution partners that provide full noise-parameter solutions, such as Maury Microwave.
