The
NC500
(drop-in) and
500SM
(surface mount)
Series noise modules are an economical solution
for built-in test requirements. They contain
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 tempera-
ture and voltage variations.
The
NC500 Series
modules are
housed in a TO-8 metal
can, and require
0.2 to 5 mA, while
the
500SM Series
modules are
housed in a
surface mount
plastic package.
Both typically
require 5 mA and
produce a minimum of 31 dB ENR of white
Gaussian noise. The
NC510
and
510SM Series
typically require 15 mA and have higher output
with a minimum of 51 dB ENR. Like all Noise
Com products, they contain a fully characterized
noise diode that has been burned-in for 168
hours.
Typical applications for these noise modules
include 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. Noise Com can optimize frequency range,
voltage and output levels for specific applica-
tions. Most models are available from stock.
When ordering, add the suffix "SM" to the
model number to denote the surface mount
version. If the suffix is not included, the drop-in
version will be supplied.
