Comb Generator with output to 40 GHz

  • The CGO-51000 is a battery-powered millimeter-wave comb generator and broadband EMC reference signal source covering 1 GHz to 40 GHz in 1 GHz steps — the highest-frequency comb generator in the Com-Power lineup.
  • 5G FR2 mmWave site verification — covers the 24, 28, 37, and 39 GHz 5G bands plus automotive radar (24, 38, 76–81 GHz partial coverage), satellite communications, and CISPR 32 / FCC Part 15 emissions through 40 GHz.
  • Integral stub antenna with protective cover on a circular chassis ground plane produces a uniform omnidirectional radiated reference signal; supports both vertical and horizontal polarization to match receive antenna orientation.
  • Catches mmWave faults missed by annual NSA calibration — at millimeter-wave frequencies, even tiny connector contamination or wear causes severe degradation; daily checks detect cable, antenna, or preamp faults before invalid data accumulates.
  • 1 GHz step provides 40 well-separated reference markers across the microwave / mmWave spectrum, easy to identify on spectrum analyzers without harmonic crowding.
  • OATS, SAC, and FAC verification at mmWave frequencies — the only practical reference source for daily site checks at 26 GHz, 28 GHz, and beyond, where traditional calibration methods are slow and expensive.
  • 25 ppm frequency stability ensures comb teeth stay aligned to receiver bin centers across the full 40 GHz span over weeks of repeated daily checks.
  • Compact 7″ × 1″ (17.8 × 2.5 cm) circular chassis, 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg); 18+ hours battery life on 6 V NiMH. NIST-traceable calibration; ISO 17025 available. Three-year warranty.

Features

  • mmWave radiated reference signal source for OATS, SAC, and FAC — the highest-frequency comb generator in the Com-Power lineup, purpose-built for daily verification of mmWave EMC test sites.
  • 1 GHz to 40 GHz frequency range — covers the 5G FR2 bands (24, 28, 37, 39 GHz), automotive radar, satellite communications, and CISPR 32 / FCC Part 15 emissions testing through 40 GHz.
  • 1 GHz step size — provides fundamental and harmonics every 1 GHz across the full 40 GHz span, giving 40 well-separated reference markers across the microwave / mmWave spectrum.
  • Frequency stability of 25 ppm — tight frequency tolerance ensures the comb teeth stay aligned to receiver bin centers across the full 40 GHz span over weeks of repeated daily checks.
  • Built-in stub antenna with circular chassis ground plane — integral antenna with a protective cover, mounted on a circular chassis that produces a uniform omnidirectional radiation pattern in the horizontal plane.
  • Dual polarization support — can be used in both vertical and horizontal polarizations for comprehensive site verification matching the polarization of the receive antenna.
  • Catches faults missed by annual NSA calibration — at mmWave frequencies, even slight contamination or wear on connectors causes severe degradation; daily checks with the CGO-51000 detect cable, antenna, or preamp faults before invalid data accumulates.
  • Battery operation, 18+ hours per charge — internal 6 V / 1 Ah NiMH battery eliminates external power cabling that could perturb sensitive mmWave radiated fields.
  • Compact circular chassis — 7″ × 1″ (17.8 × 2.5 cm), 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg); ideal for placement on turntables in compact mmWave test ranges.
  • Stable RF output — ±0.1 dB amplitude stability and <1 dB time stability over 12 months allow direct day-to-day baseline comparison even at high frequencies.
  • Automatic low-battery shut-off and LED indicators — battery low and power on LEDs; auto shutdown protects baseline data integrity.
  • 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.
