DATA SHEET • SKY65066-360LF LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER
Measuring NF
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
Special care should be taken when making < 1 dB NF
measurements. Ideally, measurements should be made in an RF
shield room. An Agilent MXA N9020A spectrum analyzer with an
internal pre-amp paired with an N4001A smart noise source was
used for all noise measurements. The smart noise source has an
internal thermocouple that automatically sets the TCOLD setting on
the analyzer. If a smart noise source is unavailable, a standard
low Excess Noise Ratio (ENR) source should be used. Use an
external thermocouple to manually adjust the TCOLD setting to
ensure accurate results.
The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY65066-360LF are
provided in Table 2. The recommended operating conditions are
specified in Table 3 and electrical specifications are provided in
Table 4.
Performance characteristics for the SKY65066-360LF are
illustrated in Figures 3 through 12.

Note: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value.
CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
