The NC505 is a noise module that generates white Gaussian noise with a minimum of 31 dB ENR across a frequency range of 200 kHz to 4 GHz. It operates with a supply voltage of +12 V, +15 V, or +28 V and draws a typical current of 10 mA. The output power flatness is ±2.5 dB for the through-hole version, and ±4.0 dB for the surface mount variant (NC505SM). Housed in a TO-8 metal can, it has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The surface mount version (NC505SM) uses a plastic package and operates from 0°C to +70°C. Rolling in full temperature range of operation and flatness specifications, it is designed for applications requiring stable noise sources such as built-in test equipment and spectrum analyzers.
The NC500 (through-hole) and NC500SM (surface mount) Series noise modules are an economical solution for built-in test requirements. They contain complete bias circuits and require no external components. Some models contain additional gain stages for high power ENR output (51 dB). The surface mount package is suitable for mounting on micro strip. The modules have extremely flat output power versus frequency characteristics that are insensitive to temperature and voltage variations.
