An active feedback resonator (AFR) is a kind of circuit which functions as a high unloaded Q resonator. The AFR employs an active feedback loop which compensates for the energy loss of a conventional microwave resonator. Owing to an active element in the AFR, thermal noise should be taken into account when designing the AFR. In order to simplify a circuit design using the AFR we introduced noise temperature (Tn) for the AFR. In addition, we describe the AFR design which gives minimum noise temperature. Finally, the noise temperature, measured in an AFR as a band elimination filter, is compared with the theoretical value to evaluate the AFR.
