Solving Noise Factor,

F_1 = 10^(NF_1/10).
= 10^(2.03/10).
= 1.60.

F_2 = 10^(1.54/10).
= 1.43.

Solving Total NF,
F_T = F_1 + (F_2-1)/A_1.
= 1.60 + (1.43-1)/62.
= 1.6069.

NF_T = 10log(F_T).
= 2.056.

The answer should be A.

Using Friis formula:.

NF = 2.03 + (1.54 - 1)/62 is 2.0387.

Noise figure is different from the noise factor. The total noise factor can be calculated using the Friis formula for cascaded amplifiers.

Total noise factor = f1+((f2-1)/A1), where f1 and f2 are the respective noise factors for the individual stages.

From that, the total noise figure can be solved by: Total noise figure = 10 log (Total noise factor).
