TBAS3 RF 10W attenuator set

Product Overview

The TBMDA2 modulated broadband amplifier is designed to create an inexpensive signal source for testing the ruggedness of electronic components and products. It is connected to a tracking generator in a spectrum analyzer.
With a gain of 1dB + 27dBm, it can increase the output power of the tracking generator to 500mW.
TBMDA2 is ideal for working with near-field probes (as transmitting antennas) to find the sensitive spot of an electronic circuit or to produce an electric field of up to
170 V / m when working with the TBTC0 chamber
100 V / m during operation with TBTC1 chamber
50 V / m during operation with TBTC2 chamber
30 V / m during operation with TBTC3 chamber
Test signals for immunity testing can be CW, AM or PM. The TBMDA2 generator provides a built-in modulation function in AM or PM 1 kHz.
In PM mode, the TBMDA2 generator, can also generate a 217 Hz signal with a duty cycle of 12.5% to simulate the impact of a cell phone.
