The NC5242A is a precision calibrated millimeter-wave waveguide noise source for 18 to 26.5 GHz, providing 25.0 dB noise output with ±1.0 dB flatness and a maximum VSWR of 1.3:1 with an output isolator. It operates from 0 to +85°C, requires +28 VDC at 30 mA max, and has noise output variation of less than 0.01 dB/°C and less than 0.1 dB per 1% voltage change. Rise and fall times are less than 1 μs. The unit uses a UG595/U flange and WR42 waveguide, with a BNC female input bias connector.
The NC5000A Series AWGN noise sources feature outstanding stability, switching speed, and ripple-free response over standard waveguide bands. The high stability of the NC5000A Series allows these units to be used in place of cumbersome gas tube noise sources.
Ripple in the output of noise sources has a direct effect on measurement accuracy, so Noisecom has tailored the response of the NC5000A Series so that ripple is minimized throughout the specified frequency range.
The standard input bias connector is bnc female.
