  1. NTU LNA Noise Figure Review II Jerry Shiao National Taiwan University

  2. Current Issues • Some LNAs seem much worse than the others. • Ratty noise temperature from 600 to 800MHz

  3. NF Test Set-up • HP N8975A NF meter • HP 346C noise source • LNA #21, #31, #52 and #56

  4. LNA#52 NF Test I

  5. LNA#52 NF Test II

  6. Test Results • Bandwidth and point average affect the results. • 600-800MHz noise is not clear but may be partially due to the circuit. The upper 3dB frequency of 1st stage in the LNAs is about 700-800MHz. • HP8970B system temperature may be better than HP N8975A • The NF trends look different from those with HP8970B

  7. Next step • Unfortunately we still got un-conclusive results. • We has bought a HP8970B to mimic the measurement in HW. • We will be more careful when sealing the box cover and connectors with silver glue.
