Abstract
A techniques to measurement noise figure of microwave fiber optic transmission line is given. Two method of noise figure measurement - the Y-factor method and the direct noise figure measurement method - are discussed and compared. The structure of lab setup of microwave fiber optic line and characteristics of its component, and characteristics of used measurement equipment are given. We measure output noise power spectral density, power gain and noise figure. Lab setup line has noise figure 28.5… 32.5 dB in studied frequency range.
