The NC346Vx is a calibrated noise source for precision noise figure measurements, covering 0.10 to 67.0 GHz with an excess noise ratio of 7-21 dB. It features a VSWR of 1.50:1 up to 26.5 GHz, 1.75:1 up to 40 GHz, 2.00:1 up to 55 GHz, and 2.50:1 up to 67 GHz. The unit uses a V male connector, operates with +28 VDC ±2 VDC at a maximum current of 30 mA, and includes a built-in regulator. Its physical dimension is 0.85 inches in length. Temperature coefficient is less than 0.009 dB/°C, and voltage coefficient is less than 0.002 dB/%∆V. Calibration data is traceable to NIST, and performance is specified from 0°C to +55°C.
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.
