DESCRIPTION:
Com-Power CGO-515 Comb Generator is a broadband EMC signal source for quick EMC site testing. It radiates signals up to 1500 MHz at user-selectable 1 or 5 MHz frequency steps. EMC labs calibrate their radiated emissions test sites, instrumentation, and accessories at least once a year. The calibration procedures are elaborate and time-consuming. However, calibration does not prevent equipment malfunction between calibration periods such as damaged receivers,, broken cables, poor connections, bad antenna, etc. Monitoring a few frequencies regularly on the Comb Generator's broadband radiated output can verify the entire setup quickly and efficiently. Any potential problems with the test setup can be detected before they cause erroneous results. It is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery pack. It has a circular shape for a more uniform radiated output. It is supplied with one detachable antenna, battery charger adapter, and a custom wooden storage box.
