The operation is very simple and time saving because the spectrum lines are always present without any tuning procedure. The built in rechargeable battery makes it a versatile, simple and cost effective substitute for signal generators, which are still very expensive and therefore rare in the frequency range above 3,6 GHz.
The output level is relatively high for a comb-generator and the lines go well beyond 18 GHz.
A VCTCXO is used as frequency standard. This abbreviation stands for “Voltage Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator”.
The very good frequency stability of a crystal is made even better by a compensation circuit. Furthermore, the nominal frequency can be tuned in a narrow range using a tuning voltage. This makes it possible to compensate small frequency differences between the comb-generator and a receiver. In open area test sites collisions with environmental signals can be avoided by tuning the frequency slightly.
