• Ideal for applications requiring high ENR and immunity to large incident RF power
• Low VSWR
• Built-in isolator

The NC3400 Series coaxial AWGN noise sources are an excellent choice for applications requiring high ENR and immunity to large incident RF power, such as ATE, radiometer, and radar systems. The calibration accuracy and flatness of the NC3400 Series noise sources are enhanced by their low VSWR. The built-in isolator provides almost constant output impedance as the noise source bias is switched on and off. The isolator also protects the noise diode from incident RF power (consult the factory for higherpower units).

An SMA female connector is standard for the RF output and a BNC female connector is standard for the bias input. Other connectors are available as options.

• Additive white Gaussian noise
• Integrated amplifier
• Manual attenuator
• NC6000A -BER testing, and SNR applications
• NC8000A – Secure signal jamming
• Military Applications
• Custom configurations available (consult factory)

The NC6000A and NC8000A Series instruments are designed for general-purpose noise applications on the bench, or in a rack test station. The manual controls make it simple to operate and reduce test set up time. Standard units can be modified for specific customer requirements. Please consult the factory for pricing and availability of these requests.

• Calibration-grade metrology standards
• Used for VNA calibration and/or calibration validation

A precision fixed termination (or load) consists of an immovable, (fixed) termination which, when mated to the end of a trans-mission line or cable, absorbs nearly all of the signal energy traveling toward it. An ideal “matched” condition exists when a termination with an impedance value of Z0, is connected to the end of a transmission line or cable that also has a characteristic impedance of Z0. Such an ideal “matched” condition (one with no mismatch between the termination and its mated line or cable) is critical if a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.0:1 is to be achieved in a system with a 50 or 75 ohm impedance value. Simply put, the more closely the 1.0:1 ratio is approached, the more accurate the measurements that can be made from a system.

• 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.

• Automated Absolute and Additive (Residual) Measurements
• Real Time Cross Correlation
• Only analyzer available that allows actual noise floor measurement
• Unparalleled analog performance
• Repeatable data

The HA7162C Real Time Phase Noise Analyzer is the industry leader with respect to proven accuracy, high reliability, automation and flexibility; offering extremely fast measurement speeds to reduce product development time and/or optimize ATE manufacturing throughput.

The LWP series Lightwave Probe enables optical measurements for on-wafer and hybrid photonics devices. It features user replaceable fiber pigtails allowing the probe to be optimized for a variety of light delivery and light collection applications including the characterization of topside illuminated photodiodes, Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs), hybrid transmitters and receivers, and LEDs.

• 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.

• Calibration-grade metrology standards
• Used for VNA calibration and/or calibration validation

Maury mismatch airlines have been designed as verification standards to be used in VNA calibration validation. Each mismatch airline is provided with factory S-parameters data that can be compared with user-measured S-parameters for VNA calibration validation. Measurement uncertainty is also provided, and uncertainty boundaries can be used for definitive calibration validation when used in conjunction with MT940B Insight Real-Time Uncertainty Add-On.
