Maury MW - Cryogenic Noise Standards - NBS Series
- Expandable frequency range from 18 to 325 GHz
- 2 to 3 times better accuracy
- Automatic Nitrogen purge eliminates helium equipment
- Primary calibration standard
- Radiometer reference source
- SATCOM earth station conformance verifications
The NBS-Series consists of calibration standards based on the primary fundamental physic constants of thermal noise and blackbody radiation. This provides the ultimate accuracy when measuring extremely low noise figures (noise temperatures). Simple, and versatile to use, the NBS-Series is an ideal solution for noise source calibrations, radiometer test references and low noise amplifier tests.

Fixed flush and fixed offset short circuit terminations (shorts) are used to establish reference planes in transmission systems and as key elements in the calibration of vector network analyzers (VNAs). Offset shorts can be used for banded calibrations of VNA. Those with the longest offset are often used to evaluate the calibration effectiveness of a VNA by measuring the effective source match after calibration.
