How to convert amplifier's input referred voltage noise to noise figure

In RF system design, noise figure is parameter to calculate receiver's sensitivity. But analog base-band specify noise with input or output referred voltage noise. How to convert it to noise figure? See the article "Calculating noise figure in op amps" below:
