Maury MW - Calibrated Noise Sources - NC3400 Series
- 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.

- Calibration-grade metrology standards
- Used for VNA calibration and/or calibration validation
Fixed flush and fixed offset short circuit terminations (shorts) are used to establish reference planes in transmission systems and as key elements in the calibration of vector network analyzers (VNAs). Offset shorts can be used for banded calibrations of VNA. Those with the longest offset are often used to evaluate the calibration effectiveness of a VNA by measuring the effective source match after calibration.

- Complete bias circuits
- Requires no external components
- Extremely flat output power versus frequency characteristics
The NC500 (through-hole) and NC500SM (surface mount) Series noise modules are an economical solution for built-in test requirements. They contain complete bias circuits and require no external components. Some models contain additional gain stages for high power ENR output (51 dB). The surface mount package is suitable for mounting on micro strip. The modules have extremely flat output power versus frequency characteristics that are insensitive to temperature and voltage variations.
- 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.
- 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.

The Z5A Belt-Aligner is a laser-based tool for the exact alignment of belt drives and pulleys. A compact line laser from the ZAT series is mounted in a specially designed holder and projects a red line that runs precisely parallel to the magnetic reference surface. Using the included target markers, drive and idler pulleys can be aligned quickly, safely, and without risk while at a standstill. Proven thousands of times in industrial use, the Z5A stands out for its ease of handling and reliable results. Delivered as a complete set with holder, measuring blocks, battery, and transport case, it offers everything needed for efficient belt alignment.
