A '''radio noise source''' is a device that emits [[radio wave]]s at a certain [[frequency]], used to [[calibrate]] [[radio telescope]]s,<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Joardar |first1=Shubhendu |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cjW_DgAAQBAJ&q=%22radio+noise+source+like+that+from+electrical%22&pg=SA1-PA21 |title=Radio Astronomy: An Introduction |last2=Claycomb |first2=J.
