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

More Product Information
- 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.
- 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.
- Broadband coverage
- Extremely good temperature stability
- Superior voltage stability
- Noise figure meter-compatible
The NC346 Series is designed for precision noise figure measurement applications. Each module’s low VSWR reduces multiple reflections and significantly increases the measurement accuracy for most noise figure test configurations.

The overall performance of a power meter dependents on the power sensor employed. Maury has a variety of quality power sensors to meet virtually all applications. Maury has a complete line of Peak and Average power sensors up to 40 GHz for all of your fast rise time, wide bandwidth and wide dynamic range applications. In this document, browse through our large variety of advanced sensor solutions.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
