Syntax

nf = noisefigure(transmissionline,frequency,zs)
nf = noisefigure(RLCckt,frequency,zs)

Description

nf = noisefigure(transmissionline,frequency,zs) calculate the noise figure of transmission lines using the given frequency and source impedance.

example

nf = noisefigure(RLCckt,frequency,zs) calculate the noise figure of series and shunt RLC circuits using the given frequency and source impedance. RLCckt is either seriesRLC or shuntRLC objects.

Create a two-wire transmission line using these specifications:

  • Radius - 0.5 mm

  • Dielectric - air

  • Thickness of dielectric or separation - 1.088 mm

  • Permittivity or EpsilonR - 1.0054

twowiretxline = txlineTwoWire('Radius',0.5e-3,'EpsilonR',1.0054,'Separation',1.088e-3);

Calculate the noise figure and the group delay of the transmission line at 2.5 GHz.

nf = noisefigure(twowiretxline,2.5e9)
nf = 
0

gd = groupdelay(twowiretxline,2.5e9)
gd = 
3.3446e-11
