RfTek
Raleigh, NC
Tel: 
919-622-4088

RfTek has partnered with AET to develop the

USB Source (USB-S) Comb Generator

AET's USB SourceThe USB-S consists of a family of pocket-sized highly stable comb generators with a single comb frequency. An external standard USB connector powers the unit. Available at 10, 64, 100, and 133 MHz (custom available). An option will pulse the comb signal on/off at a slow rate to allow testing of receiver quasi-static detectors, and works for any comb frequency selected.

Precision Spherical Dipole Source (PSDS)

AET's Precision Spherical Diode SourceThe PSDS is a highly accurate, very repeatable electric field source. Useful for commercial and government EMI/EMC test laboratory calibration measurements and highly accurate and repeatable shielding effectiveness measurements. Radiating element is battery operated, 10 cm spherical dipole antenna. Control unit is bench top or rack mounted, which allows monitoring the amplitude of the radiating electric field at each frequency (15 kHz to 2.5 GHz).
