346B Noise Source, 10 MHz to 18 GHz, nominal ENR 15 dB

Key facts

The Keysight 346B noise source's high ENR(16dB), low SWR and variety of connectors make it general-purpose noise source for the range 10 MHz to 18 GHz.

The Keysight 346B noise source is the ideal companion to Keysight's noise figure solutions. Since it is broadband (10 MHz to 18 GHz), it eliminates the necessity for several sources at different frequency bands. The low SWR of the noise source reduces a major source of measurement uncertainty, which are reflections of the test signals. Add special option H01 for high ENR (21 dB typical) to measure high noise figure devices, or option H42 for measuring Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) low noise block converters.
