Abstract
A study of the effect of a cubic nonlinearity on the Y-factor method for measuring noise figures is performed. By hypothesis, this technique does not take nonlinearities into account. It is shown that the presence of the nonlinearity largely influences the measured noise figure value. An alternative single tone noise figure measurement setup is proposed to correct the problem.
