Noise Figure of a SAW Filter - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Post subject: Noise Figure of a SAW Filter Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2005 11:51 am
Good day. I was given a receiver design that uses two SAW filters from Sawtek (856327 and 854656). I need to do a noise figure analysis for the receiver and I am a little confused about how to handle these filters.

I have contacted Sawtek and they were not able to provide me with any data. Also I do not have access to these devices so I cannot measure them.

Does anyone have any suggestions about where to find information about this (website, book, magazine article, etc.) ?

I am using Microwave Office for the simulation.

Thank you for your time and help.

Michael

The NF is basically equal to the insertion loss at any given frequency, but it must be measured at the input/output impedance used with the SAW device.
