Abstract This paper presents a method to characterize the excess noise ratio (ENR) of an unmatched avalanche noise diode for application as an on‐wafer noise source. It is based on the determination of a broadband device noise circuit‐model from its measured reflection coefficient and noise powers. Measured ENR is used to calibrated a noise receiver up to 40 GHz. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
