Test Signal Generators – Broadband Noise Generators
Applied Instruments Inc. has a range of Test Signal Generators to assist organisation in the field and in the lab to verify quality of transmission lines and circuits delivering an agreed SLA.
RF Noise Generator for Testing and Aligning
It generates a wide, flat, RF noise-signal. The NS-1 is popular for testing network components and aligning a building’s coaxial cable network.The NS-1’s signal is injected into the network at point A. Using a signal receiver, such as a signal level meter (like Applied Instruments’ AI Turbo S2) or spectrum analyzer, the NS-1’s signal is received at point B. The frequency response of the network, between points A and B, is obtained. This measurement allows the user to verify the integrity of cabling and its associated connections at all frequencies between 5 and 2150 MHz.
Additional information on the NS-1 can be found in the Datasheet that can be downloaded from above.
The NS-3 Broadband RF Noise Generator provides an extremely flat AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) signal from 5 to 2150 MHz. The output level adjusts in 0.1 dB steps over a 30 dB range.The bench-top configuration is standard and an optional two unit rack enclosure is available. The RS232 or USB remote control interface simplifies its use in automated test and factory ATE environments. The NS-3’s combination of range, versatility and value make it the ideal general purpose broad-spectrum signal source for bench and ATE applications, including C/N, BER, MER, PER testing and rain fade simulation.
