Keysight N9913AU/356 Noise Figure Option

Overview

The Keysight N9913AU/356 is a noise figure measurement option that employs the Y-Factor technique for precise characterization of low-noise devices and amplifiers. The option supports five measurement types including noise figure, noise factor, gain, noise temperature, and Y-factor, with flexible measurement setups and four pre-configured device measurement types for common amplifier applications.

Key Features

• Five measurement types: Noise Figure, Noise Factor, Gain, Noise Temperature, Y-Factor
• Four measurement setup types: Noise Source, DUT, Integration, Uncertainty
• Four pre-configured DUT measurement types: Amplifier, Downconverter, Upconverter, Multi-Stage Converter
• Customizable uncertainty contribution values including jitter, ENR, mismatch, and user calibration
• Support for external Keysight noise sources and preamplifiers

Applications

• Low-noise amplifier and preamplifier characterization
• Receiver sensitivity and noise performance verification
• Downconverter and upconverter noise analysis
• Device quality assurance and performance validation

Included Accessories
