  • Abstract
    A novel method of measuring the noise and gain parameters of a linear two-port is presented. This method is based on the Friis formula to determine all the noise and gain parameters solely from noise figure measurements. This results in a much simplified procedure and improved accuracy over the conventional methods. An example using a low-noise transistor at 2 GHz is shown.
