Abstract :
In the design of microwave transistor amplifiers it is frequently necessary to use optimisation techniques to achieve best results. In this context it is useful to be able to evaluate readily noise figure and its sensitivity with respect to elements in the amplifier network. Efficient methods for such computations are discussed in this communication.
