The NGX1000 programmable noise generator is a high-performance broadband additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) generator in a compact form factor. An optimized user interface and flat menu structure provide a quick and easy way to add RF noise to communication systems for reliability, robustness, and performance testing. All functions are accessible via a 5-inch touchscreen or remote control over Ethernet, enabling flexible, programmable noise generation for use in semiconductor, military, aerospace, satellite, medical, and communication applications.
