Noise figure test set targets 60-GHz band.(PAUL'S PICKS)

The NC5115-60G Noise Figure Test Set has separate systems designed to perform Y-factor noise figure measurements using a spectrum analyzer or a dedicated receiver. The NC5115-60G is a calibrated test set with LNA and a WR15 waveguide; the NC5 115-60GT features LNA and VT-085 1.85-mm coax transition.

The systems consist of precision noise sources that cover the 60-GHz band, isolators for best VSWR match, and low noise amplifiers with 30-dB gain to increase the output of the DUT if it is too low for direct measurement. The noise source delivers 17.5-dB excess noise ratio.

NC5115-60G and NC5115-60GT come with an ENR calibration table. ENR is measured before the DUT connector and at the final output for system pre-test calibration. Noisecom, a Wireless Telecom Group Company, www.rsleads.com/908ee-186
