Comb Generator 1 and 5 MHz Stepsize

Features

• ▸ Radiated reference signal source for OATS, SAC, and FAC — broadband EMC reference source for quick verification of radiated emissions test sites between formal calibrations.
• ▸ Wide frequency range: 1 MHz to 1.5 GHz — covers the principal radiated emissions band used by FCC Part 15, CISPR 32 / EN 55032, and most commercial EMC standards in a single instrument.
• ▸ User-selectable 1 MHz or 5 MHz step size — choose 1 MHz for maximum spectral resolution near the lower limits, or 5 MHz for faster sweeps and easier identification at higher frequencies.
• ▸ AEMCLRP-recognized artifact — used as a reference artifact for the Automotive EMC Laboratory Recognition Program, supporting laboratory-to-laboratory comparison and ongoing site validation.
• ▸ Compact cubic chassis — (HxWxD) 2.9″ × 3.1″ × 3.1″ (7.4 × 7.9 × 7.9 cm), 0.5 lbs (0.2 kg); the smallest comb generator in the lineup, easy to position on turntables, calibration jigs, or tripods.
• ▸ Two interchangeable monopole antennas — 3-inch and 12-inch monopoles supplied for optimized radiation across the lower and upper portions of the 1 MHz to 1.5 GHz range.
• ▸ Battery operation, 18+ hours per charge — internal 6 V / 1 Ah NiMH battery eliminates external power cables that could disturb the radiated signal, ensuring repeatable measurements.
• ▸ Automatic low-battery shut-off — battery monitoring circuit shuts the unit down before output level degrades, preventing invalid reference data being collected with low-amplitude signals.
• ▸ Stable, repeatable RF output — 20 ppm frequency stability and ±0.1 dB amplitude stability ensure that day-to-day baseline comparisons reflect real changes in the test setup, not drift in the source.
• ▸ External LED indicators — battery low and power on indicators on the front panel confirm operating state at a glance during chamber walk-throughs.
• ▸ Use as signal source for insertion loss — broadband output also serves as a stable reference for cable, attenuator, and filter insertion loss measurements, plus chamber-to-chamber comparisons.
• ▸ NIST-traceable calibration — calibration data and certificate ship with each unit; ISO 17025 accredited calibration available on request.
• ▸ Three-year standard warranty — backed by manufacturer support.
