Abstract
By using computer control and correction, the noise parameters of an amplifying device can be obtained as an immediate display from system noise measurements without the need of having subsequently to make tedious calculations. The means of achieving this are described in the paper, together with results obtained by applying the facility to microwave amplifiers incorporating GaAs f.e.t.devices mounted in microstrip.
