Systematic noise figure calculation method.

Hi All,


Do you know a systematic way of calculating the noise figure of any circuit, a sort of method or receipe ?

I am thinking of the following:

1) for a given circuit calculate the input referred noise ( thankx razzavi)

2) trying to get the noise figure out of the previous results with minimum effort.

if you have documentation about noise figure calculation method, it would be fantastic.


thanks a lot

Tahar.
