The NC3204 is a calibrated coaxial noise source in the NC3000 Series designed for radar and satellite communications testing, offering a noise output of 30-35 dB ENR with ±1 dB flatness across a frequency range of 2 to 4 GHz. It features a VSWR of less than 3:1, rise and fall times under 1 µs, and operates within a temperature range of −55°C to +85°C. The device requires +28 VDC at 20 mA typical and includes hermetically sealed noise diodes with full-band calibration data. Connector type is not specified for this model.
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.
