FMNG1005

Overview

The FMNG1005 is a calibrated noise source module manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for general-purpose RF testing applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1 GHz to 18 GHz and features SMA connectors for interface connectivity. The device provides a calibrated excess noise ratio (ENR) of 23 dB, enabling accurate characterization of receiver sensitivity and noise figure measurements across its specified bandwidth.

Feature Summary

• Provides calibrated noise output with an ENR of 23 dB
• Operates in the 1 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range
• Utilizes SMA connectors for standard RF integration

Applications

• Receiver sensitivity testing
• Noise figure measurement
• RF component characterization

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the product may be listed as obsolete or discontinued. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches system requirements. Ensure the 23 dB ENR specification meets test accuracy needs. Check RoHS compliance documentation if required for specific manufacturing standards. Validate frequency coverage against application bandwidth requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a broad frequency range from 1 GHz to 18 GHz is required for noise source applications. The fixed 23 dB ENR value suits standard sensitivity tests. SMA interfaces are appropriate for systems using standard coaxial connections. Consider alternative models if higher ENR or different connector types are necessary.

Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of RF ICs and modules, specifically categorized under general-purpose noise sources. It serves as a calibration reference tool within RF test and measurement setups, supporting engineers in quantifying signal degradation and system noise performance.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available. As the product status is noted as obsolete, direct replacements must be sourced through distributor inventory or equivalent generic noise source modules with matching frequency and connector specifications.
