The Right Noise Source for Your Specific Needs

Whether you are working with systems, subsystems, subassemblies, or discrete devices, each of your components add noise that affects the overall performance of your receiver. By measuring and reducing noise figure, you can give your components a competitive edge.

This series of broadband noise sources has been designed to cover high frequency waveguide measurement applications.

The R347B waveguide noise source cover the R-band (26.5 to 40 GHz frequency range), while the Q347B model cover the Q-band (33 to 50 GHz frequency range), allows you to make accurate noise figure measurements on millimeter-wave devices.
