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.

Precision standard mismatches are fixed coaxial terminations, which are used to introduce a known VSWR into a 50 ohm transmission system. These mismatches are extremely useful in a wide variety of applications and are quick and easy to use. They can be used to calibrate swept reflectometers, verify network analyzer calibration, establish impedance references in TDR measurements.

Shielded, coaxial opens are used in the calibration of vector network analyzers to provide a nominal 180° phase offset from a compatible reference short over a wide range of frequencies. At these frequencies, open circuit terminations are inherently imperfect. Shielding the open essentially eliminates radiation loss, but creates a residual frequency-sensitive capacitance. An accurate knowledge of the open’s effective capacitance is essential to an accurate calibration of the analyzer. Maury opens are characterized for effective capacitance versus frequency by means of a fourth order polynomial curve fit, and the nominal capacitance coefficients are provided with each unit.
