CGC-105 Conducted Comb Generator with Step Sizes of 10 and 50 kHz

  • The CGC-105 is a battery-powered conducted comb generator and LISN reference signal source covering 10 kHz to 115 MHz — the lowest-frequency conducted reference in the Com-Power lineup, ideal for CISPR 16 and CISPR 32 / EN 55032 conducted emissions verification.
  • User-selectable 10 kHz or 50 kHz step size — choose 10 kHz for high-resolution baseline data near the lower band edge or 50 kHz for faster sweeps with cleaner spectral lines on the EMI receiver.
  • High output impedance design allows safe use whether the LISN is powered, unpowered, or connected to AC mains — no need to disconnect the EUT power source between verification checks.
  • Interchangeable output adapter system (CGC-P25A, CGC-P50A, CGC-P100A) plus optional CGC-105P-ADA-CAL and CGC-105P-ADA-USP adapters connect directly to most LISN EUT power port pin configurations and AC receptacles worldwide.
  • Verifies the entire conducted measurement chain — LISN, RF cables, transient limiter, and EMI receiver — in minutes between formal calibrations; output levels are close to or above CISPR disturbance limits for clear receiver visibility.
  • Industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment verification under CISPR 11 — the 10 kHz starting frequency covers Group 1 ISM applications below the standard 150 kHz band edge.
  • Longest battery life in the lineup — 23+ hours per charge on internal 6 V / 1 Ah NiMH; supports multiple full days of testing without recharging. 20 ppm frequency stability, ±0.1 dB amplitude stability.
  • Compact 6.5 × 2.3 × 2.4″ (165 × 58 × 61 mm), 0.5 lbs (0.22 kg). NIST-traceable calibration; ISO 17025 available on request. Three-year warranty.

Features

  • Conducted reference signal source for LISN-based test setups — verifies the entire conducted emissions measurement chain (LISN, cabling, transient limiter, EMI receiver) in minutes between formal calibrations.
  • Lowest-frequency starting point in the lineup: 10 kHz — only Com-Power conducted comb generator that starts at 10 kHz; ideal for verification of MIL-STD-461, automotive (CISPR 25), and CISPR 32/EN 55032 conducted setups that include sub-150-kHz measurements.
  • Frequency range up to 115 MHz — covers the full CISPR 16, CISPR 32, and EN 55032 conducted emissions band (150 kHz to 30 MHz) with margin.
  • User-selectable 10 kHz or 50 kHz step size — choose 10 kHz for high-resolution baseline data near the lower band edge or 50 kHz for sparser, faster sweeps and easier identification of individual harmonics throughout the band.
  • Output levels close to or above CISPR disturbance limits — harmonics are produced at levels that show clearly on EMI receiver displays without requiring sensitivity adjustments, making baseline comparisons straightforward.
  • High output impedance — safe with powered LISNs — high impedance to external line voltage allows the CGC-105 to be used while the LISN is powered, unpowered, or connected to AC mains, eliminating the need to disconnect the EUT power source between checks.
  • Interchangeable output adapter system (CGC-P25A, CGC-P50A, CGC-P100A) — output pin adapters allow direct plug-in to a variety of LISN EUT power port pin configurations.
  • Optional CGC-105P-ADA-CAL and CGC-105P-ADA-USP adapters — support direct calibration-instrument connection (CAL) and AC-receptacle connection (USP) for additional verification scenarios.
  • Long battery life: over 23 hours per charge — the longest-running comb generator in the lineup; internal 6 V / 1 Ah NiMH supports multiple full days of testing without recharging.
  • Stable, repeatable RF output — 20 ppm frequency stability, ±0.1 dB amplitude stability, and <1 dB time stability over 12 months allow direct comparison of measurements taken months apart.
  • Compact form factor — 6.5 × 2.3 × 2.4″ (165 × 58 × 61 mm), 0.5 lbs (0.22 kg); easy to carry, store, and plug directly into LISN EUT power ports.
  • External LED indicators — battery low and power on LEDs confirm operating status at a glance.
  • 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.
