The NC403 noise diode is designed for microwave applications requiring a 50-ohm impedance, with a frequency range of 100 MHz to 27 GHz and an excess noise ratio of 24 to 28 dB. It operates at 8 to 12 volts with a bias current of 12 mA and uses a C50 or CH3 package. The diode provides symmetrical white Gaussian noise and is hermetically sealed.
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
