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

Southwest Microwave offers a broad family of SSBP multi-coax contacts and assemblies to address RF/microwave packaging miniaturization and flexibility challenges. These push-on coax contacts simplify interconnections and cabling while offering greater system reliability than the alternative of mating a large array of standard coax connectors. These SSBP coax contacts were designed to fit into standard off-the-shelf MIL-DLT-38999 and MIL-DTL-24308 D-Sub connectors and are interchangeable with standard signal contacts available in 20 HD, 20, 16, 12, 8 sizes to accommodate a variety of performance requirements.

Contact us for flexible cable assemblies and harnesses for OTS MIL-DTL-38999 series I, II, III, and IV or MIL-DTL-24308 D-sub connectors. All size 20 contacts are sold on cables.

Our 2 Series cable assembly showcases excellent phase stability against bending, developed with microwave/mmWave measurement environments in mind.

Its flexibility means low repulsion, reducing the load on the measured object
