Keysight N9936AU/356 Noise Figure Option

Overview

The Keysight N9936AU/356 Noise Figure Option uses the Y-Factor technique to accurately verify and characterize the noise figure of devices. This option provides multiple measurement capabilities for comprehensive noise analysis on FieldFox series analyzers.

Key Features

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

Requirements

• Requires spectrum analyzer mode (Option 233 on combination models)
• Requires internal preamplifier (Option 235) and DC bias variable voltage source (Option 309)
• Requires CPU2 processor
• External noise source required (supports Keysight 346A/B/C/K40/K01 models)
• Recommended: external preamplifier (Keysight U7227A/C/F or U7228A/C/F)
• Requires N9910X-713 BNC to SMB cable for DC bias connection
