NOISE SOURCE, NS-NM
APPLICATIONS
• AM/PM noise measurements
• Characterization of components
FEATURES
• Stable Gaussian noise generator
• Noise bandwidth up to 10%
• Noise flatness < 1 dB
• Low insertion loss
DESCRIPTION
Model NS-NM is a gaussian noise source module that may be used to calibrate the AM and PM
noise measurement system. The gaussian noise source is typically bandwidth limited to 10% of the carrier
frequency of interest and is summed with the RF carrier when calibrating the measurement system. Once
calibration is complete, the noise source can be turned off and the AM or PM noise measurement can be
completed without disconnecting any of the signals. The noise source calibration certificate may be obtained
from SDI or at NIST.
The NS-NM plugs into the NMS mainframe. The noise source can be turned on or off manually
or under control of the Noise Measurement System Controller. The NS-NM uses one slot of the system
mainframe.
