Application Note

This application note, “Preamplifiers and System Noise Figure,” is designed to assist engineers in learning how to improve the accuracy of their measurements by using a low noise amplifier in front of a spectrum analyzer to reduce the effective noise figure of RF and microwave test systems. This paper discusses applications and characteristics of Agilent’s latest amplifier technology. Highlighted are Agilent’s 87405C portable preamplifiers that provide exceptional gain of 25 dB and a probe-power bias connection.
