The Agilent/Keysight Technologies N2002A Noise Source Test Set, 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz, Refurbished is a stand-alone instrument that operates as an integral part of a noise source calibration system. This easy-to-use device helps deliver fast, accurate, repeatable calibration results with minimal levels of uncertainty as part of a calibration system.

One of the key performance parameters for noise figure is the level of measurement uncertainty. A significant contributor to this is the uncertainty surrounding the noise source used when measuring noise figure on your device. Accurate noise source calibration is critical to minimizing noise source uncertainty, and thus a critical factor for obtaining quality noise figure measurements. The N2002A Noise Source Test Set solves these and many other problems.

Many customers have long equated noise source calibration with the time consuming and expensive delays of sending equipment to external laboratories or test houses. The N2002A's straightforward operation makes the prospect of in-house calibration more appealing due to the drastic reduction in manufacturing downtime and the long-term financial advantages.

For engineers who currently run their own noise source calibration service, the N2002A noise source test set is an ideal addition to their test equipment. Incorporating this self-contained unit into an existing noise source calibration system can significantly improve the quality of calibrations. With existing systems the noise source test set can be incorporated between the noise source and the noise figure measuring device to reduce reflections and therefore reduce the level of uncertainties.
