Noise Generators
Products
- AWGN as high as +13 dBm
- Bandwidths up to 18 GHz
- Bandwidth, output power, and flatness can be modified for specific applications
- TTL controlled attenuation
The NC1000 Series amplified noise modules produce AWGN as high as +13 dBm, and have bandwidths up to 18 GHz. The high power modules are designed to test noise immunity for Cable TV equipment, secure communication channels, and military jamming systems. The lower power modules, <= 0 dBm, are random jitter sources for many applications including, PCIexpress, Infiniband, and 10 GigE. The Bandwidth, output power, and flatness can be modified for specific applications. A newly developed TTL controlled attenuation feature is also available.
- High-level noise modules mounted on a circuit board
- Modified BW, output power, and flatness specifications
The NC2000 Series amplified noise modules are an excellent choice for high-level noise modules mounted on a circuit board. The NC2000 Series modules are housed in 24, or14-pin dual-inline packages. The NC4000 series modules are housed in a 40-pin module that cover similar noise bands to the NC2000, but have higher crest factor, and 60 dB of TTL controlled attenuation. Modified BW, output power, and flatness specifications are available for these modules. Please consult Noisecom for availability, and appropriate package style.
- Custom electrical testing available upon request
- Wide package variety with custom configurations
- NC100 & 200 series for audio and RF applications
- NC300 & 400 series for microwave application
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
- Complete bias circuits
- Requires no external components
- Extremely flat output power versus frequency characteristics
The NC500 (through-hole) and NC500SM (surface mount) Series noise modules are an economical solution for built-in test requirements. They contain complete bias circuits and require no external components. Some models contain additional gain stages for high power ENR output (51 dB). The surface mount package is suitable for mounting on micro strip. The modules have extremely flat output power versus frequency characteristics that are insensitive to temperature and voltage variations.
- Complete bias circuits
- Requires no external components
- Optimizations available for frequency range and output levels
The NC520 low voltage (surface mount) noise module is an economic solution for built-in test requirements. It contains complete bias circuits and require no external components.
The surface mount package is suitable for mounting on microstrip. The modules produce extremely flat output power versus frequency characteristic that is insensitive to temperature and voltage variations.
Typical applications for the NC520 module includes built-in test equipment (bite), signal strength meters for cellular, pcs, catv, calibrators, spectrum analyzers, radar warning receivers (rwr), and dither A/D quantization error. Maury can optimize frequency range and output levels for specific applications.
