Maury MW - Diodes - NC500-500SM Series
- 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.

- Calibration-grade metrology standards
- Used for VNA calibration and/or calibration validation
Precision waveguide sections are a useful component in the VNA calibration validation process, and can also be used as sample holders for material measurements.
- Calibration-grade metrology standards
- Used for VNA calibration and/or calibration validation
Coaxial air lines are air-dielectric transmission lines with highly accurate dimensions that can be used as fundamental impedance standards in measurement and calibration applications, and may also be used to establish reference positions for measurements.
Bead supported air lines offer greater convenience and easier connections (the center conductor is automatically aligned by the dielectric bead for easy connection); beadless air lines offer better impedance and electrical length accuracies, as well as lower VSWR (the center conductor floats free in the air line body, and the male connector nut is retractable to facilitate insertion of the center conductor contact before the thread- on connection tightened.
- Excellent temperature and voltage stability
- Units for noise figure meters feature 15.5-dB ± 0.75 dB ENR output
- High-output units for radar and satellite communications system testing feature output between 26 and 35 dB ± 1 dB ENR
The NC3000 Series calibrated coaxial AWGN sources are well suited for receiver testing, noise figure measurements, or applications that require broadband noise and fast switching times. Several models include output isolators, and voltage regulators that provide excellent stability over varying temperature and voltage ranges. The NC3000 Series includes the NC3100 units with 15 dB ENR output for noise-figure meters, and the NC3200 Series high-output noise sources with outputs between 26 and 35 dB ENR for radar and satellite communications system testing.
