If your resistor isn't a carbon based one, there is no good
explanation in the resistor for your increased noise. There can be
explanations in the joints between parts if they are not soldered. In
such cases, it us usually worth checking that your test setup doesn't
report the same noise from just a 50 ohm resistor or a long coax with
a 50 ohm load.
Done.
Bad connections can sometimes rectify RF. You may be seeing the local
rock and roll station as noise.
All this is in an RF box.
Carbon based resistors can have two problems. One is that they can be
slightly nonlinear the other is that they can make noise when current
flows through them.
I've already seen 1/f noise with carbon resistors with a DC flow in them, but that was in low frequency. Here I am demodulating at 6 MHz, so this
potential noise will be put around 6 MHz (if it goes through the mixer), and I'm measuring low frequencies.
