Continuous Wave Simulator
CWS 500N2
CWS 500N2.1
Compact RF simulator for BCI, Stripline and TEM cell
applications. 9kHz – 400MHz ( 1000MHz)
The CWS500N2 is the state of the art solution in a
compact one-box design to test immunity to
conducted disturbances induced by radio frequency
fields. The CWS500N2 includes signal generator, RF
amplifier directional coupler, 3 channel power meter,
software and GPIB interface.
The integrated amplifier can also be controlled using
external signal generators. The icd.control software
supports the test routines and controls external
measuring devices.
