Book Description
A systematic and unified treatment of thermal noise from an engineering viewpoint. This reference presents the methods used for characterizing and measuring thermal noise in RF communication systems and components. Defines power gain and its applicability to noise problems, shows how to calculate the final signal-to-noise ratio in RF systems using the known gains and noise temperatures of individual system building blocks, and discusses the dependence of dynamic range on the noise factor and noise temperature of a given transducer.
