The TBCG3-RN6 comb generator is primarily intended for testing radiated emission setups. It is a useful tool for validating the proper operation of the antenna and pre-amplifier, as well as the accurate set-up and configuration of the spectrum analyzer. It is well characterized in an anechoic chamber and the radiated emission plots can be used as a reference to compare an EUT in a non-ideal setup against the comb generator in the same location.
\nYou can select between five fixed comb frequencies and an external comb frequency input with a range of 5 kHz to 200 MHz using a rotary switch.
\nThe comb generator comes with two monopole antennas, a 30 cm monopole for frequencies up to 300-500 MHz and a 10 cm monopole for frequencies above that.
\nThe radiated comb spectrum is characterized from 5 MHz \u2013 6 GHz.
\nThe TBCG3-RN6 has a 50 Ohm output with a female N-connector. The device runs on six AA NiMH batteries and comes with an external charger.<\/p>\n

The housing is machined of solid aluminium. The bottom panel has a 1\/4″ – 20 UNC thread that accepts regular tripod bolts.<\/p>\n
