Programmable Noise Generators
RFX7000B Series
The RFX7000B broadband AWGN generator has a powerful single board computer with flexible architecture used to create complex custom noise signals for advanced test systems. This versatile platform allows the user to meet their most challenging test requirements. Precision components provide high output power with superior flatness, and the flexible computer architecture allows control of multiple attenuators and switches. The 1U enclosure makes this ideal for integrated rack applications.

The RF configuration includes a broadband noise source, noise path attenuator (with a maximum attenuation range of 127.9 dB in 0.1 dB steps) and a switch. RF connection for the signal input and noise output can be located on either the front or rear panels of the instrument. An optional signal combiner, and signal attenuator allow independent control of the noise & signal paths to vary SNR while BER testing.
The RFX7000B is primarily designed for automated and remote control applications typically found in a rackmount test system. Rear panel ethernet is standard, GPIB and RS-232 connectivity is available through optional adaptors. Additionally, the instrument can be manually controlled through use of a mouse and display connected to the rear panel.
Maury programmable noise generators are highly customizable and can be configured to meet the needs of the most complex testing challenges.
