The TekBox TBCG3-CN comb generator is primarily intended for checking test setups for conducted interference emissions. It facilitates checking the correct operation of a LISN or the correct setup and configuration of a spectrum analyser. The case is machined from solid aluminium. The bottom plate has a 1/4″ - 20 UNC thread that accepts standard tripod bolts.
