The focus is on measurement methods used at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), but the general principles and methods are useful in a wide range of applications. Readers will learn how to perform accurate microwave noise measurements using the respected author's expertise of calculations to aid understanding of the challenges and solutions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text covers the background required for the analysis of the measurements and the standards employed to calibrate radiofrequency and microwave radiometers. It also covers measurements of noise temperature (power) and the noise characteristics of amplifiers and transistors. In addition to the usual room-temperature two-port devices, cryogenic devices and multiport amplifiers are also discussed. Finally, the connection of these lab-based measurements to remote-sensing measurement (especially from space) is considered, and possible contributions of the lab-based measurements to remote-sensing applications are discussed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecific topics and concepts covered in the text\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003einclude: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Noise-temperature standards, covering ambient standards, hot (oven) standards, cryogenic standards, and other standards and noise sources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Amplifier noise, covering definition of noise parameters, measurement of noise parameters, uncertainty analysis for noise-parameter measurements, and simulations and strategies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e On-wafer noise measurements, covering on-wafer microwave formalism, noise temperature, on-wafer noise-parameter measurements, and uncertainties\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Multiport amplifiers, covering formalism and noise matrix, definition of noise figure for multiports, and degradation of signal-to-noise ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eContaining some introductory material, \u003ci\u003ePrecision Measurement of Microwave Thermal Noise\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable resource on the subject for advanced students and all professionals working in (or entering) the field of microwave noise measurements, be it in a standards lab, a commercial lab, or academic research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Randa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119910099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119910091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Randa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128370360575,"sku":"9781119910091","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9e6fbbd-7914-4902-982e-d98f3e60c547.jpg?v=1687458358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/precision-measurement-of-microwave-thermal-james-randa-9781119910091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
