- Noise Figure = 3.0845 dB
EXAMPLE:
- Noise Figure = 3.5 dB
- Noise Temperature = 359.22 Kelvin
Noise Temperature to Noise Figure Equation
Both noise temperature and noise figure are used interchangeably in RF engineering. The noise figure is a measure of the degradation of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) caused by RF and electronic components within the transmit or receive chain.
The noise figure is often used to verify the performance of a receiver. Noise temperature is commonly used in satellite communication, making it necessary to convert between noise figure and noise temperature.
For a deeper understanding of the relationship between noise figure and noise temperature, refer to the linked resources below.
The following equation is used for the noise temperature to noise figure conversion:
(The equation is not explicitly provided in the original text, so it cannot be included here. It would typically involve the Boltzmann constant and reference temperature.)
