Abstract :
We propose an exact procedure to analytically calculate sets of noise parameters, such as the minimum noise figure, the noise resistance, and the optimum source admittance of linear noisy two-ports with an arbitrary number of noise sources. With our method, the noise sources of the linear two-port may exhibit any degree of crosscorrelation. The procedure has no restrictions as to the topology of the two-port and transformations of the network are not needed
