RF Metrology — White noise source

A small noise generator,
full RF diagnostics in seconds.

The NS-1 is a 100–1500 MHz white noise source powered through DC-feed on a single BNC. Paired with the scan mode of an HF receiver or an SDR, it lets you map a band, measure cable loss, check a filter or validate a DC feed — without breaking out the spectrum analyzer. Made in France.

Highlights

White noise 100–1500 MHz

Flat spectral density within ±0.5 dB across the full band, no spurs, no peaks. Exactly what you need to map a filter, a cable or a full RF chain.

100 → 1500 MHz · ±0.5 dB

Powered by DC-feed

One BNC for everything. Plug the NS-1 in place of an antenna, enable DC feed on your receiver or splitter, and the generator wakes up.

Analyzer + tracking, minimalist

Paired with the scan mode of an HF receiver or an SDR, the NS-1 turns your rack into a spectrum analyzer with tracking generator: band profile, cable loss, filter response.

Scan + NS-1 = tracking gen

Seconds to test

Cable loss, filter coherence, DC-feed state, antenna presence: four diagnostics, one NS-1, one scan. Without unpacking the spectrum analyzer.

20 g, 57 × 25 × 18 mm. You forget it in the kit until you need it — and when that moment comes, it's still there, still ready.

Built for the real field

One active component, one BNC, one housing. Nothing to adjust, nothing to calibrate, nothing to restart. The NS-1 does one thing and has been doing it well since 2022.

Use cases

Sound pre-production

Validate an HF chain before a shoot

Before hitting the set, connect the NS-1 at the end of the chain and run a receiver scan: you instantly read the usable band, filter notches, global cable loss. Five minutes, zero surprise on the day.

Broadcast / diagnostics

Hunt down an unexplained level drop

A channel dropping out? Insert the NS-1 at different points of the chain, compare the profiles. A good link has a flat response; a bad one has a bump or a notch. Localisation in a handful of connections.

Education

Show a filter's effect in real time

A flat noise generator, a receiver in scan, an FA-1 filter in between: the filter profile appears on screen like on a network analyzer. Educational, visual, no metrology gear required.
