of satellite communications systems, where the receiver antenna is pointed out into cold space, the antenna effective temperature is often colder than 290 K. In these cases a 2 dB improvement in receiver noise figure will result in more than a 2 dB improvement in the output signal-to-noise ratio. For this reason, the related figure of

The first amplifier in a chain usually has the most significant effect on the total noise figure because the noise figures of the following stages are reduced by stage gains. Consequently, the first amplifier usually has a low noise figure, and the noise figure requirements of subsequent stages is usually more relaxed. 973: 2353:
At any given electrical frequency, noise occurs in both quadratures, i.e. in phase (I) and in quadrature (Q) with the signal. Both these quadratures are available behind the electrical amplifier. The same holds in an optical amplifier. But the direct detection photoreceiver needed for measurement of

The above describes noise in electrical systems. The optical noise figure is discussed in multiple sources. Electric sources generate noise with a power spectral density, or energy per mode, equal to

The noise factor is thus the ratio of actual output noise to that which would remain if the device itself did not introduce noise, which is equivalent to the ratio of input SNR to output SNR. 576: 467:{\displaystyle \mathrm {NF} =10\log _{10}(F)=10\log _{10}\left({\frac {\mathrm {SNR} _{\text{i}}}{\mathrm {SNR} _{\text{o}}}}\right)=\mathrm {SNR} _{\text{i, dB}}-\mathrm {SNR} _{\text{o, dB}}} 695: 2304: 2273: 1219: 2230: 1840: 1812: 968:{\displaystyle F=F_{1}+{\frac {F_{2}-1}{G_{1}}}+{\frac {F_{3}-1}{G_{1}G_{2}}}+{\frac {F_{4}-1}{G_{1}G_{2}G_{3}}}+\cdots +{\frac {F_{n}-1}{G_{1}G_{2}G_{3}\cdots G_{n-1}}},} 1441: 1411: 1757: 1381: 1138: 1107: 1080: 1053: 1158: 1082:.
