The CGE06 is a compact and portable broadband comb reference source that generates stable signals from 915 MHz to 40 GHz.

Description

 

The CGE06 is a broadband comb generator that functions as a reference source to produce a frequency spectrum from 915 MHz to 40 GHz. This device is compact and can be powered either with a power adapter or independently with a battery (PPU01), minimizing the effects of cabling when characterizing electromagnetic environments.

Its design includes a metal housing that allows mounting in direct contact with a ground plane, and its comb signal facilitates the simultaneous display of reference and noise floor levels, which aids in dynamic range measurements. Equipped with a 2.92 mm output connector, it can be fitted with an antenna to generate radiated E-fields, making it the ideal reference source for verifications in anechoic and semi-anechoic chambers.

General Characteristics

  • Output from 915 MHz to 40 GHz: Covers a very wide broadband spectrum.

  • Stable output and repeatable measurements.
  • Selectable comb frequency: Offers flexibility with two modes of operation (915 MHz or 1 GHz steps).
  • Compact and portable design: Dimensions 56 x 17.5 x 72 mm.
  • Dual power supply: Can be used with the PPU01 battery to avoid cable interference or with a power adapter for continuous use.
Technical Specifications

  • Frequency Range:

  • Conducted915 MHz at 40 GHz.
  • Radiated: 1 GHz to 26 GHz (with MCN02 antenna).
  • Output Level (Conducted): 60 dBµV minimum in a 50 Ω system for 90% of combs up to 40 GHz.
  • Comb pitch size:
  • Mode 1: base frequency of 915 MHz.
  • Mode 21 GHz base frequency.
  • Amplitude stability: < +/- 1.5 dB (between 5°C and 40°C).
  • Frequency stability: < +/- 30 ppm maximum.
  • Output Connector: 2.92 mm, 50 Ω.
  • Weight: 0.1 kg (CGE06 only); 0.65 kg (with PPU01 battery).
  • Power supply: 9 – 18 VDC, 0.5 A max.
  • Battery operating time: 6.5 hours typical with PPU01 charged.
  • Indicators: Blue (Mode 1), green (Mode 2) and red (low battery / error) LEDs.
  • Controls: 3-position switch (Mode 1 | OFF | Mode 2).
Applications
  • Validation of conducted and radiated measurement systems.
  • Characterization of anechoic chambers and shielded rooms.
  • Reference source for verifications (ISO 17025, DEFSTAN 59-411).
  • Comparison between test sites and long-term performance monitoring.
  • Cable loss measurement, amplifier gain evaluation and shielding evaluation.
