Noise Figure
Given system temperature (in Kelvins), this program calculates the noise figure (in Decibels), which describes the noise performance of an amplifier. The noise figure is described as the difference between the noise output of an actual receiver to an ideal, noiseless receiver. A noiseless receiver is said to have a resistor operating at room temperature, 290 K (about 16.85°C or 62.33°F). The lower the noise figure, the better.
Formula:
F = 10 * log(T/290 + 1)
where:
F = noise figure (dB)
T = system temperature (K)
Noise Voltage
Given the noise bandwidth (in Hertz) and the resistance (in Ω), calculate the open-circuit voltage (in RMS volts).
Formula:
e_n = √(1.6*10^-20 * B * R)
where:
e_n = open circuit voltage noise (RMS volts)
B = bandwidth (Hz)
R = resistance (Ω)
HP Prime Program Function: NOISEVOLT
