Broadband Calibrated RF Noise Source
Mi-Wave’s 870 Series RF noise source units are broadband, calibrated devices available across K, Ka, Q, V, E, and W-Band frequencies from 18 to 110 GHz. Each RF noise source delivers consistent excess noise ratio (ENR), minimized ripple, and best-in-class switching speed — making them the preferred choice for noise figure testing, receiver calibration, and system performance evaluation in RF test labs. An isolator option is available on request.

RF Noise Source Applications & Frequency Coverage
Mi-Wave RF noise sources (also known as noise generators) produce calibrated white noise used for system performance evaluation — including noise figure measurement — across RF and millimeter-wave test environments. Available waveguide bands include K-Band (18–26.5 GHz), Ka-Band (26.5–40 GHz), Q-Band (33–50 GHz), V-Band (50–75 GHz), E-Band (60–90 GHz), and W-Band (75–110 GHz).
RF Noise Source
Mi-Wave RF noise sources (also known as noise generators) are microwave components that produce white noise for system performance evaluation such as noise figure throughout test labs. RF noise sources or noise generators from Mi-Wave are manufactured from some of the highest quality materials and standards.
