Precision Measurement of Microwave Comprehensive resource covering
the foundations and analysis of precision noise measurements with a
detailed treatment of their uncertainties Precision Measurement of
Microwave Thermal Noise presents the basics of precise measurements
of thermal noise at microwave frequencies and guides readers
through how to evaluate the uncertainties in such measurement. The
focus is on measurement methods used at the U.S. National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST), but the general principles and
methods are useful in a wide range of applications. Readers will
learn how to perform accurate microwave noise measurements using
the respected author's expertise of calculations to aid
understanding of the challenges and solutions. The text covers the
background required for the analysis of the measurements and the
standards employed to calibrate radiofrequency and microwave
radiometers. It also covers measurements of noise temperature
(power) and the noise characteristics of amplifiers and
transistors. In addition to the usual room-temperature two-port
devices, cryogenic devices and multiport amplifiers are also
discussed. Finally, the connection of these lab-based measurements
to remote-sensing measurement (especially from space) is
considered, and possible contributions of the lab-based
measurements to remote-sensing applications are discussed. Specific
topics and concepts covered in the text include: Noise-temperature
standards, covering ambient standards, hot (oven) standards,
cryogenic standards, and other standards and noise sources
Amplifier noise, covering definition of noise parameters,
measurement of noise parameters, uncertainty analysis for
noise-parameter measurements, and simulations and strategies
On-wafer noise measurements, covering on-wafer microwave formalism,
noise temperature, on-wafer noise-parameter measurements, and
uncertainties Multiport amplifiers, covering formalism and noise
matrix, definition of noise figure for multiports, and degradation
of signal-to-noise ratio Containing some introductory material,
Precision Measurement of Microwave Thermal Noise is an invaluable
resource on the subject for advanced students and all professionals
working in (or entering) the field of microwave noise measurements,
be it in a standards lab, a commercial lab, or academic research.
