The NC303R noise diode is a microwave device designed for 50-ohm impedance applications, generating symmetrical white Gaussian noise across a frequency range of 10 Hz to 10 GHz. It operates with a bias voltage of 8 to 10 volts and a current of 8 mA, delivering an excess noise ratio of 30 to 35 dB. The diode is housed in an R package configuration and is hermetically sealed for environmental stability. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, with a storage temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
Noise diodes are the fundamental building blocks for analog noise systems. They are categorized for performance characteristics that enhance their broadband noise output and flat spectral response. All Maury noise diodes can deliver symmetrical white Gaussian noise and flat output power versus frequency*.
* Flatness and output power are dependent upon peripheral circuit characteristics
