Dear Sir,
We have the AGILENT SPECTRUM ANALYZER , EXA SIGNAL ANALYZER, N9010A 9KHz-3.6GHz. We have designed the low noise amplifier at 2GHz and measured the input and output power using the above agilent spectrum analyzer.

I have doubt on the following points
(1) Can we measure the Noise Figure of the low noise amplifier using above specification spectrum analyzer. If it is so, how it can be measured.
(2) Can we measure the third order input intercept point and third order output intercept point using above specification spectrum analyzer. If it is so, how they can be measured.
 

Dear Sir,
Can we measure the NOISE FIGURE of the low noise amplifier at 2GHz using AGILENT SPECTRUM ANALYZER , EXA SIGNAL ANALYZER, N9010A 9KHz-3.6GHz. If it is possible to measure noise figure from the above spectrum analyzer, do we need to connect the additional NOISE SOURCE 5dB or 15 dB ENR to the spectrum analyzer or spectrum analyzer itself is able to measure the NOISE FIGURE without connecting the separate NOISE SOURCE. can you clarify it.
 

Hi,

If the spectrum analyzer has noise figure measurement personality then you will definitely need the source 5dB or 15dB. I have not seen any spectrum analyzer with noise source inbuilt.
