FMNG1000

Overview

The FMNG1000 is a calibrated noise source module manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for RF and microwave testing applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0.01 MHz to 2 GHz. The device provides a calibrated excess noise ratio (ENR) output of 15 dB. It requires a DC supply voltage of +28 VDC for operation. The module features SMA connectors for signal input and output connections. This component serves as a reference standard for measuring the noise figure of amplifiers and receivers.

Feature Summary

• Provides calibrated excess noise ratio for accurate noise figure measurements
• Operates with a dedicated +28 VDC power supply requirement
• Utilizes SMA connectors for standard interface compatibility

Applications

• Noise figure measurement of low-noise amplifiers
• Receiver sensitivity characterization in test setups
• RF system calibration using standardized noise references

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the FMNG1000 to confirm the exact ENR tolerance and operating temperature range before integration. Ensure that the test equipment supports the required +28 VDC supply and SMA interface. Confirm availability status with authorized distributors as inventory levels may vary. Cross-reference the frequency range specifications against your application requirements to ensure coverage from 0.01 MHz to 2 GHz meets your needs.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a calibrated noise source is required for frequencies up to 2 GHz. Consider the 15 dB ENR value relative to the gain of the device under test to ensure sufficient signal-to-noise ratio for accurate Y-factor measurements. Verify that the SMA connector type matches your existing test cabling infrastructure. Evaluate the thermal performance if the module will be used in environments with varying ambient temperatures.
