Keysight Technologies offers ‘cost’ effective solutions for noise figure needs as options for network analysers, spectrum analysers, or signal analysers.
The 346 series of broadband noise sources have been designed to cover the majority of measurement applications with a range of frequencies, Excess noise ratio (ENR), and coaxial connector types.
N4000 series noise sources work in conjunction with the NFA series of noise figure analysers to simplify measurement setup and improve accuracy and reliability.
The Q347B series broadband noise sources have been designed to cover high-frequency waveguide measurement applications.
