What does noise factor express?

  • A.The bandwidth over which noise is measured
  • B.The degradation of signal-to-noise ratio
  • C.The absolute noise power a stage generates
  • D.The gain available before the stage saturates

Answer: B

Noise factor is the ratio by which a stage worsens the signal-to-noise ratio, referenced to a standard temperature so devices can be compared, and noise figure is the same quantity in decibels. Absolute noise power depends on bandwidth as well and is a different measure. Gain and saturation are separate specifications. And measurement bandwidth is a condition rather than the figure. Every noise specification names either a degradation or a power, and the two must not be confused.
