Attenuator noise figure and loss

My question is with regard to how attenuators effect noise. From what I understand $$ \text{NF} = 10\log \left( \frac{S_{in}/N_{in}}{S_{out}/N_{out}} \right) = 10\log \left( L \frac{N_{out}}{N_{in}} ...

How is noise reduced using a sigma-delta converter?

Perhaps I'm sleepy but I can't quite get my head around how a sigma delta converter takes the noise that is in a bandwidth of (X) Hz and by over sampling spread, that same amount of noise over 2(X)Hz. ...

What do you call the dynamic range of a variable gain amp?

Dynamic range is the ratio of the largest signal a system can process to the noise floor of that system. If the system has variable gain, though, then you could interpret this two ways: Fixed gain ...
