The NC3105 is a calibrated coaxial noise source for the NC3000 Series, designed for noise figure measurements with a frequency range of 12 to 18 GHz and an ENR of 15.5 dB ± 0.75 dB. It has a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1, operates from -55°C to +85°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. Calibration is provided at 1 GHz steps across its band. It features a hermetically sealed noise diode and is suited for radar, satellite communications, and wireless backhaul applications.
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.
