SSA5000A Noise Figure Measurement SW (SSA5000-NF)

Accurate measurement of noise figure is crucial in product development and manufacturing. In the field of research and development, high test accuracy can ensure high repeatability between design simulation and real measurement and help to find the noise sources that are not considered in the simulation process. In the field of production and manufacturing, higher test accuracy means that the index margin can be set smaller when setting and verifying the technical index of the device. The higher the technical index of the final product, the more competitive it will be in the market. Quantifying those unknowns depends on flexible tools that provide accurate, reliable results. The noise figure measurement function of SIGLENT SSA5000A provides engineers with a simple tool, which can quickly and effectively measure the noise figure with high accuracy. Engineers can characterize noise figure and gain of connectorized devices and system blocks with graph, meter, and table layouts, and support the measurement of noise factor, Y-factor, effective temperature, and hot/cold power density.
