Signal Hound announced a new noise figure analysis mode in its exclusive Spike™ spectrum analyzer software. Noise figure analysis is one of the most useful metrics for RF test engineers, characterizing the noise contributions of an electrical system, as well as the individual electrical components within the system.

 “As always, we are proud to offer this new feature as part of our free software package that comes with all Signal Hound spectrum analyzers,” said Clint Burgess, marketing director at Signal Hound. “This new ability to perform noise figure measurements within Spike increases the value of our test and measurement equipment, adding yet another essential feature for professionals working in the industry.” 

The new noise figure analysis mode is available in Spike, today.
