    FAQ:
    Why can ’t I see my noise source on a spectrum an analyzer?
    I
    f you are attempting to measure a lower power noise source, < 30 dB ENR, in all probability the
    spectrum analyzer Noise Figure, which usually is at a minimum of 25 dB and many times is 35
    dB, is above the noise level of noise source. At these levels we can approximate Noise Figure
    and ENR and compare directly to see if the noise source will be detectable. This source could be
    measured with an LNA in front of the Spectrum Analyzer"
