Abstract

We report results of stability tests on several noise sources for selected frequencies between 12 and 26.5 GHz. Measurements covered intervals of about 1 week and about 1 year or more. Drifts in noise temperature were typically less than the uncertainty of the tests, about 0.03% per day or about 0.05% per year for hot sources.
