k1000 – Amplified Noise Modules, 1MHz to 18GHz.

The k1000 series modules produce white Gaussian noise up to 0 dBm, covering frequencies up to 18GHz.

The higher-power modules are designed for secure communication and signal jamming, while the low-power modules with a high crest factor are used for signal impairment in BER and jitter applications.

Each module contains a hermetically packaged noise diode that has been pre-selected for special performance characteristics. The standard module is designed for a 50 Ω load impedance.
