Topic: Analog Circuits

Noise figure of an amplifier depends on

  • A. Bandwidth
  • B. Output power
  • C. Power input
  • D. None of the above

Answer: D. None of the above

Explanation: The Noise Figure (NF) is a measure of degradation of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) caused by components in a signal chain. It is an intrinsic property of the amplifier determined by its internal components and operating temperature, not by the input/output signal power or the channel bandwidth.
