5.1 Receivers[/COLOR]
Noise power at the input to the receiver will be amplified and attenuated like any other signal. Each
component in the receiver chain will also add noise. Passive devices such as filters, cables, and attenuators
will cause a drop in both signal and noise power alike. These passive devices also contribute a small
amount of internally generated thermal noise. Thus the actual noise figure of a passive device is slightly
higher than the attenuation of that component. This slight difference is ignored in receiver design since
the actual noise figures and losses vary by significantly larger amounts. Passive mixers will generally have
a noise figure about 1 dB greater than the conversion loss. Active devices can exhibit loss or gain, and
signal and noise power at the input will experience the same effect when transferred to the output.
However, the internally generated noise of an active device will be substantial and must be accounted
for, requiring reasonably accurate noise figures and gain data on each active component. |
