NF2 … NFn is the noise coefficient of each level of the network G1. G2 … Gn-1 is the gain of each level before n-1 level 1 Concept and properties of thermal noise 1. 1 Definition of noise As can be seen from the formula, the total noise coefficient of a multi-stage series network mainly depends on the first few levels, especially the first level. Therefore, the noise coefficient of the first level is required to be small and the gain is high. For a general receiver, the first level is a passive input loop, including antenna feed line and filter; the second level is a mixer, and their gain is less than 1; thus, the noise and gain of the third-stage pre-IF amplifier have a great influence on the noise performance of the whole machine. In order to reduce the noise of the entire receiver, in addition to trying to reduce the frequency conversion loss and increase the gain of the mixer stage, most high-quality receivers currently add a low-noise high-frequency amplifier before the mixer. 2.3 The difference between having a low-noise amplifier and not having one 2.3.1 Without amplifier Noise refers to the interference that occurs within the frequency band of the useful signal. According to the source of the noise, it can be divided into two categories: external interference (industrial interference, radio interference, etc.) and internal interference (thermal noise, distortion noise, etc.). The energy distribution of external interference usually decreases with the increase of frequency, while the spectrum of internal noise is very wide. Since the frequencies used by the transceiver equipment in general communication systems are very high, the influence of internal noise is mainly considered. 1.2 The nature of thermal noise Thermal noise is a major noise in the communication system, and all parts of the system will generate thermal noise. Since the signal input to the receiver is very weak, its influence is particularly important. There are many sources of thermal noise, the most important of which is resistor thermal noise. Resistor thermal noise is generated by the thermal motion of free electrons in the resistor. Therefore, a complex AC voltage is displayed at both ends of the resistor - resistor thermal noise.
