Maury MW - Calibrated Noise Sources - NC3000 Series
- Excellent temperature and voltage stability
- Units for noise figure meters feature 15.5-dB ± 0.75 dB ENR output
- High-output units for radar and satellite communications system testing feature output between 26 and 35 dB ± 1 dB ENR
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.

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
- Outstanding stability
- Fast switching speed
- Ripple-free response over standard waveguide bands
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.

- Compensation long cable loss for EMI Measurement
- Improve system noise floor flatness
- High EMI performance
- High linearity LNA for EMI measurement
- High dynamic range
- Unconditionally Stable
- State-of-the-Art Technology
