The NC3104 is a calibrated coaxial noise source in the NC3000 Series, designed for receiver testing and noise figure measurements with a frequency range of 1 to 18 GHz and an ENR output of 15 to 16 dB ± 1 dB. It features a VSWR of 1.5:1 and calibration at 1 GHz steps. The device operates from -55°C to +85°C, stores from -65°C to +125°C, and requires +28 VDC at 20 mA typical. Noise output variation is less than 0.01 dB/°C, with rise and fall times under 1 µs and VSWR under 3:1. It includes hermetically sealed noise diodes and full-band calibration data.
The NC3000 Series calibrated coaxial AWGN sources are well suited for receiver testing, noise figure measurements, or applications that require broadband noise and fast switching times. Several models include output isolators, and voltage regulators that provide excellent stability over varying temperature and voltage ranges. The NC3000 Series includes the NC3100 units with 15 dB ENR output for noise-figure meters, and the NC3200 Series high-output noise sources with outputs between 26 and 35 dB ENR for radar and satellite communications system testing.
