Ambient Terminations

Coaxial and Waveguide

Description

Maury ambient terminations are room temperature noise sources consisting of a stable termination in a massive copper housing to provide thermal stability and to reduce the effects of thermal transients.

These terminations are used as a reference temperature noise source for highly accurate noise figure or effective input noise temperature measurements, as an "on-line" standard for calibrating the operating noise temperature of low noise receiving systems, and in the calibration of solid state noise generators.

Each unit is provided with a direct reading dial thermometer calibrated from -5° to 45°C with better than 0.5° resolution and accuracy. The thermometer receptacle in the housing will also accept a quartz thermometer probe which, when connected to an appropriate unit, will provide for a remote temperature readout.

The units listed below are typical of those available. For terminations in other waveguide sizes, or other connector types and frequency ranges, please contact:
