Keysight / Agilent / HP 346B Noise Source, 10 MHz to 18 GHz, Nominal ENR 15 dB Description

HP 346B Noise Source is engineered for precise characterization and calibration across a wide spectrum of radio frequency and microwave test setups. This instrument delivers a stable, broadband noise signal essential for accurately measuring noise figure and gain in receivers, amplifiers, and other sensitive components. Widely recognized in professional test environments, this particular model leverages the robust design heritage from its Agilent and Keysight predecessors, ensuring reliable performance in demanding laboratory and production test applications. This unit generates a nominal Excess Noise Ratio (ENR) of 15 dB, providing a consistent reference for noise figure measurements. It covers a broad frequency range from 10 MHz up to 18 GHz, making it suitable for a diverse array of RF and microwave system evaluations. Operating with a 28V DC input via a BNC connector, the HP 346B integrates smoothly into standard test bench power configurations. The output signal is delivered through an SMA APC-3.5 Female connector, ensuring compatibility with high-frequency coaxial systems.
