Cascaded Stages

Basic calculations for a receiver

Provided by the Committee MTT-14 on Noise


STAGE 1        
STAGE 2
          STAGE 3
Noise Figure:  F1 :   dB   F2 :   dB   F3 :   dB  =  FTOT :   dB
Available Gain:  G1 :   dB   G2 :   dB   G3 :   dB  =  GTOT :   dB
Output IP3:  OIP31 :   dBm   OIP32 :   dBm   OIP33 :   dBm  =  OIP3TOT :   dBm

Fill out the form with data by entering a value and using the TAB key to move from one entry to the next. As soon as there is enough data available, the cascaded performance of this 3 stage newtwork is calculated. Keep changing the individual performance of each stage to see how the overall performance of the cascaded network is affected.
