The NC506/15 is a noise module in the NC500 Series, designed for built-in test applications requiring white Gaussian noise. It operates from 200 kHz to 5 GHz with a minimum ENR of 31 dB and a flatness of ±3.0 dB, optimized for a +15 V supply. The module is housed in a TO-8 metal can and requires a typical supply current of 10 mA. It maintains stable output across temperature and voltage variations, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. Output flatness for the surface mount variant is specified as ±4.0 dB, but this does not apply to the through-hole NC506/15. The part includes integrated bias circuits and requires no external components.
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.
