  • Page 4 Agilent Technologies Noise Sources: 346A, 346B, N4000A, and N4001A Agilent Technologies Noise Sources: 346A, 346B, N4000A, and N4001A A. Introduction Due to a change of manufacturer of the noise diodes, adjustment of bias current is now necessary to ensure that the noise source performs within its specified ENR range.
  • Page 5 The replacement parts listed in Table 1 are tested in the factory to determine the bias current level necessary to ensure that it meets ENR specification. For the 346A and 346B, bias levels are determined by installing the appropriate resistor value for R7 on the printed circuit board (Figure 1- 00346-60001). The appropriate resistor is supplied with the part.
  • Page 6 12. For the 346B, if the ENR is not within specification, refer to the supplied 00346-90024 Installation Note for instructions on how to tune the attenuator to meet the ENR specification at frequencies above 12 GHz. The 346A should not require polyiron tuning.

Ensure that the cartridge was shipped with a small envelope. 2. Ensure that the value of the current is marked on the envelope (the resistor will not be used).
  • Page 8 Agilent Technologies Noise Sources: 346A, 346B, N4000A, and N4001A 4. Reassemble the unit. 5. Using the field calibration software, set the bias current to the original value 6. Perform a preliminary ENR measurement. 7. If the ENR is not meeting specification, use the field calibration software to change the bias setting. Refer to Table 2 for bias current values.
