Description

Typically, the TBCG3-RN6 is used in a shielding chamber, the diagrams of the radiated emission can be used as a reference to compare a DUD in a non-ideal environment with the comb generator at the same location. A rotary switch can be used to select between five fixed comb frequencies and an external comb frequency input in the range from 5 kHz to 200 MHz. can be selected. A switchable RF amplifier can amplify the output signal by 20 decibels (dB).

2 antennas included, 1x 30 cm monopole for frequencies up to 300-500 MHz and 1x 10 cm monopole for frequencies above this
Comb spectrum from 5 MHz to 3 GHz
50 ohm output with N-female
The housing is milled from solid aluminium. There is a 1/4″ - 20 UNC thread on the underside which accepts standard tripod screws
