Micronetics' line of full band noise sources are specially designed for easy integration into microwave systems. They feature rugged construction with excellent long-term stability.

Micronetics full band noise sources are based on a coaxial design as the base part. As standard options, noise sources can be ordered with either

Each noise source is calibrated to the output port so no external deembedding of calibration data is necessary. In addi­tion to the RF output choices, there are also different packages available to meet a wide range of mechanical con­straints.

■ Operating Temp: -55 to +95^oC

■ Storage Temp: -65 to +125^oC

■ Supply Voltage: +15 , +28 VDC

■ Temp Stability: 0.01 dB/^oC

■ Ouput Impedance: 50 ohm

■ Peak Factor: 5:1

The heart of these noise sources is a small chip and wire hermetic noise module. This is embedded in the housing with a precision launch to the coaxial jack. This

design gives is much more stable and rugged than traditional coaxial noise sources which rely on pill packaged diodes and beryllium copper bellow assemblies which are not only are less reliable, but use hazardous materials.

Each noise source is accurately calibrated using a reference noise source traceable

to NIST/NPL Calibration data consists of 5 calibration points across the full-band. Data is supplied as a print out. Special calibration data can also be supplied upon request (consult factory). Standard choices are:

In addition to the calibration data, a certificate of calibration and a certificate of con­formance is supplied with each unit.
