TBCG5 general purpose comb generator

The TBCG5 is a general purpose harmonic comb generator with a switchable base frequency of 200 MHz, 100 MHz or 50 MHz. It generates a flat comb spectrum up to 3 GHz and is usable up to 8 GHz. The comb generator is powered via a USB C socket on the rear panel. The TBCG5 is designed and characterized to serve as a versatile lab tool for measuring cable resonances, shielding effectiveness, filters, crosstalk, EMC test setups and more. Comb generators are commonly utilized as a general purpose source for wideband RF signals or narrow pulses with a fast rise time.
