The NC5428A is a precision calibrated millimeter-wave waveguide noise source for the 26.5 to 40 GHz frequency range, designed for noise figure measurements and radar applications. It features a UG599/U flange, WR28 waveguide, and a maximum VSWR of 1.3:1. The device provides a noise output ENR of 6.0 dB with ±1.0 dB flatness, operates from 0 to +85°C, and requires +28 VDC at 30 mA maximum. Output rise and fall times are less than 1 μs, with temperature drift under 0.01 dB/°C and voltage variation under 0.1 dB per 1% change. The standard input bias connector is BNC female.
The NC5000A Series AWGN noise sources feature outstanding stability, switching speed, and ripple-free response over standard waveguide bands. The high stability of the NC5000A Series allows these units to be used in place of cumbersome gas tube noise sources.
Ripple in the output of noise sources has a direct effect on measurement accuracy, so Noisecom has tailored the response of the NC5000A Series so that ripple is minimized throughout the specified frequency range.
The standard input bias connector is bnc female.
