  • Abstract
    Noise temperature or noise factor are important parameters for many microwave devices. Their dependence on source characteristics is classically established using low-frequency concepts such as impedance, admittance, voltage, and current sources. This paper presents a derivation of the noise properties of linear two-ports in terms of noise waves, which leads to a convenient measurement method in distributed systems.
