Broadband Coaxial Noise Sources
-
Our integrated noise modules contain all the required biasing circuitry and only need a positive voltage to activate for an easy installation. Since they typically do not contain amplification, the raw noise output from the diode is seen at the output of the module resulting in a maximum ENR of approximately 35dB. Primary applications include system built-in test and laboratory use.

CNS346 Series
-
The Spanawave CNS346 Series is designed for precision noise figure measurement applications. The superior VSWR characteristics reduce multiple reflections of the test signals and significantly increase the measurement accuracy of most noise figure set-ups. The CNS346 Series noise sources have broadband coverage and extremely good temperature and voltage stability, for the finest noise figure meter-compatible laboratory standards. Outputs of 6, 15.5 and 22 dB ENR are available, allowing the units to accurately measure noise figures up to 20 ,30 and 36 dB respectively.

Full Band Noise Figure and Gain Test Extenders
STG-06-S1
-
Full band noise figure and gain test extenders are offered to extend noise and gain measuring capabilities up to higher millimeterwave frequency ranges. These extenders are designed to interface with noise and gain test systems that have an input IF of 10 MHz to 1.6 GHz, such as the industry standard Keysight 8970A/B, N8975A and Maury MT 2075B. The noise figure and gain test extenders include a high-performance, solid-state noise source (STZ series) and a full waveguide down converter (STC series), which consists of a Faraday isolator (STF series), full band mixer (SFB series), frequency multiplier, and IF amplifier. A frequency source with an output signal in the frequency range of 10 to 20 GHz is required as a local oscillator for the down converter. The noise source is automatically powered on and off by the noise figure meter.
