The NC3206 is a calibrated coaxial AWGN noise source in the NC3000 Series, designed for radar and satellite communications system testing with a noise output of 28-33 dB ±1 dB ENR across an 8-12 GHz frequency range. It features a VSWR of less than 3:1, a noise output rise and fall time of less than 1 µs, and operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C with a maximum input current of 30 mA at +28 VDC. Calibration is provided at 1 GHz steps. The device is hermetically sealed with supplied full-band calibration data.
The NC3000 Series calibrated coaxial AWGN sources are well suited for receiver testing, noise figure measurements, or applications that require broadband noise and fast switching times. Several models include output isolators, and voltage regulators that provide excellent stability over varying temperature and voltage ranges. The NC3000 Series includes the NC3100 units with 15 dB ENR output for noise-figure meters, and the NC3200 Series high-output noise sources with outputs between 26 and 35 dB ENR for radar and satellite communications system testing.
