Not all amplifiers are created equal, so how can you be certain that an amplifier will work for your needs? You deserve to be confident that the amplifiers used with your test-and measurement lab benches will meet the requirements of your specific applications, are reliable, and are equally well-supported pre-and post-sale. When it comes to application expertise, reliability and support, there is no company that does it better than Maury.

• 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.

• 5” touch screen display
• Noise output through female N connector
• Ethernet connection for remote control

The NGX1000 programmable noise generator is a high performance, broadband additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) generator in an easy-to-use compact form factor. The streamlined user interface and flat menu structure provides a fast, simple way to add RF noise in a communications system to test reliability, robustness and performance.

All functionality of the generator is accessible through the 5” touch screen or via remote control through an ethernet connection delivering flexible, programmable noise generation for broad use in semiconductor, military, aerospace, satellite, medical and communications 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.

• Directly compatible with most commercial VNA’s
• Available as polynomial and characterized device kits
• Measure S-Parameters with uncertainty when used in conjunction with Maury’s Insight software platform

Maury offers coaxial and waveguide VNA calibration kits.

Coaxial calibration kits are offered in Polynomial SOLT, Characterized Device (CD) SOLT, and TRL, depending on the connector series. Where available, CD kits improve calibration accuracy when compared to SOLT kits based on polynomial definitions as each calibration kit is provided with individually characterized short, open and fixed load standards, whose S-parameters can be loaded into commercial VNAs directly or when used with Maury’s Insight™ software platform. When combined with Insight™, users will be able to quantify the uncertainty contribution of their calibration kit to their overall measurements. CD cal kits result in TRL-like accuracy with fixed-load SOLT ease-of-use.

• 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.

• 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

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.
