Noise figure of a receiver stage expresses

  • A.The bandwidth over which the stage is usable
  • B.How much the stage degrades the signal-to-noise ratio
  • C.The absolute noise power the stage generates
  • D.The gain of the stage in decibels

Answer: B

Noise figure is the ratio by which the stage worsens the signal-to-noise ratio, expressed in decibels, and it is defined against a standard reference temperature so that stages can be compared. Absolute noise power depends on the bandwidth and is a different quantity. Gain is separate, although it strongly affects how much the following stages contribute through the cascade formula. And usable bandwidth is a further independent specification.
