The surface mount package is suitable for mounting on microstrip. The modules produce extremely flat output power versus frequency characteristic that is insensitive to temperature

and voltage variations.
• Built-in test equipment (bite)
The NC500 Series modules are housed in a TO-8 metal can,
and require 0.2 to 10 mA, while the NC500SM 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 NC510SM Series typically
require 30 mA and have higher output with a minimum of
51 dB enr.
Typical applications for these noise modules include built-in test

• Signal strength meters for cellular, pcs and catv
• Calibrators
• Spectrum analyzers
• Radar warning receivers (rwr)
• Dither A/D quantization error
• Gain-bandwidth product testing

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 applications.
Most models are available from stock.
