The NC346V is a coaxial calibrated noise source designed for precision noise figure measurements, covering 0.10 to 55.0 GHz with an ENR of 7 to 21 dB. It features a VSWR of 1.50:1 up to 26.5 GHz, 1.75:1 up to 40 GHz, 2.00:1 up to 55 GHz, and 2.50:1 up to 55 GHz, with a maximum current draw of 30 mA. The unit includes a built-in regulator, operates from 0°C to +55°C, and has a voltage coefficient less than 0.002 dB/%∆V. It is supplied with NIST-traceable calibration data and has an APC3.5 male connector. The physical dimensions are 0.85 inches in length.
The NC346 Series is designed for precision noise figure measurement applications. Each module’s low VSWR reduces multiple reflections and significantly increases the measurement accuracy for most noise figure test configurations.
