The NC346C is a coaxial calibrated noise source designed for precision noise figure measurements, operating from 0.01 to 26.5 GHz with an ENR of 13-17 dB. It features a maximum VSWR of 1.15:1 up to 18 GHz, 1.25:1 from 18 to 26.5 GHz, and uses an APC3.5 male connector. The device requires +28 VDC ±2 VDC at 15 mA typical, has a built-in regulator, and maintains a temperature coefficient of less than 0.009 dB/°C. Its physical length is 0.50 inches, and it includes NIST-traceable calibration data.
The NC346 Series is designed for precision noise figure measurement applications. Each module’s low VSWR reduces multiple reflections and significantly increases the measurement accuracy for most noise figure test configurations.
