Cryogenic Primary Noise Standard VivaTech s Cryogenic Noise Standard is a noise source with primary reference performance. Providing precision calibration of low noise components such as amplifiers, diode noise sources or receiver systems, it offers the ultimate in performance. The unique design provides wide frequency coverage from 18 to 325 GHz in standard waveguide bands, incorporating replaceable waveguide assemblies. The standard is particularly suited to mm and sub-mm wave [THz] low noise measurement applications and operates to 500 GHz in custom versions. New side entry design enables convenient connections to waveguide systems Vertical or horizontal waveguide orientation no mismatched bends or twists needed Low maintenance, compact temperature stabilization system no water cooling Interchangeable waveguide feed-horn assemblies provide mm to sub-mm wave [THz] coverage Automatic or manual LN2 filling-auto fill minimizes LN2 use and allows continuous operation Convenient, fully automated operation with integrated PC Real time noise temperature display at any frequency with full data logging Frequency (GHz) 18 26 26 40 50 75 75 110 90 140 110 170 140 220 220 275 275 325 325 400 400 500 Effective Noise Temperature (K) -1 83.27 82.98 83.45 83.95 85.20 81.06 79.27 76.82 72.45 71.31 65.60 Feed-horn Assembly VTA-42-NS VTA-28-NS VTA-15-NS VTA-10-NS VTA-8-NS VTA-6-NS VTA-5-NS VTA-3.4FA-NS VTA-3.4FB-NS VTA-2.2FA-NS VTA-2.2FB-NS Waveguide WR 42 WR 28 WR 15 WR 10 WR 08 WR 06 WR 05 WR 3.4 WR 3.4 WR 2.2 WR 2.2 Typical Output Temperature Display 1.
