The NC3240 is a calibrated coaxial noise source in the NC3000 Series, designed for broadband noise generation in radar and communications system testing, with a frequency range of 2 to 40 GHz and a noise output above 20 dB ENR. It uses a 2.92mm connector, either male or female, and is supplied with full-band calibration data. The device operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C and requires +28 VDC at 20 mA typical input power. Noise output rise and fall times are less than 1 µs, with VSWR less than 3:1 and temperature variation of less than 0.01 dB/°C.
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.
