Figure 10 - Advanced L-Band Link Gain
NOISE FIGURE
Like link gain, noise figure is affected by the transmitter and receiver gain settings as well as
the optical loss. The relationship is somewhat more complex however. Figures 11 and 12 show
how the noise figure varies at 3dB optical loss and 15dB optical loss.
