The NC3208K is a calibrated coaxial noise source in the NC3000 Series, designed for receiver testing and noise figure measurements requiring broadband noise and fast switching. It operates from 1 GHz to 18 GHz with a noise output of 23-27 dB ENR ±1 dB and a maximum VSWR of 3:1. It uses a 1 GHz step calibration frequency and draws up to 30 mA at +28 VDC input. The device supports operating temperatures from −55°C to +85°C and storage temperatures from −65°C to +125°C.
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.
