Abstract
A technique for noise figure evaluation, suitable for BIST implementation, is described. It is based on a low cost single-bit digitizer, which allows the simultaneous evaluation of the noise figure in several test points of the analog circuit. The method is also able to benefit from SoC resources, like memory and processing power. The theoretical background and experimental results are presented in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.
