Title: Noise Figure Measurement of 140 GHz LNA using VNA & Power Source
Post by mixed_signal on Sep 1^st, 2023, 10:14pm

Hi,
I want to measure the noise figure of 140 GHz CMOS LNA using VNA & power source with probe station. The LNA has 8dB gain and 7.5dB noise figure. Is the measurement error going to be very large due to low gain and high noise figure? I am ok with +/-1dB error. Is there any way to minimise the error?
Thanks & Regards
