ESCRIPTION
15.5 dB NOISE FIGURE METER COMPATIBLE TYPES
Noise Com's NC 3000 Series calibrated noise sources
embody excellent stability with temperature and voltage.
They are well suited to receiver testing, noise figure
measurements, and any application requiring broad
bandwidth and fast switching time.
The NC 3000 Series includes the NC 3100 units that
feature 15.5-dB 0.75 dB ENR output for noise-figure
meters, and the NC 3200 Series high-output noise
sources that feature output between 26 and 35 dB 1 dB
ENR for radar and satellite communications system
testing.
