Internal RF-Power Amplifier
Several amplifier modules are available. Highest output
power can be 75 W over the specified frequency range.
The amplifier input can be accessed via the back panel of
the CIT-10, so that the amplifier can also be used with any
external generator. 25 W and 75 W amplifiers are available
as standard.
Internal RF-Signal Generator
As the internal generator generates its output signal without
any internal mixing components, low harmonics and spurious
frequencies are assured.
Amplitude Modulation
Frequencies generated by the generator can also be modulated
with a LF signal. Modulation frequencies may vary from 1 Hz up
to 100 kHz, modulation levels are available from 0 % to 100 %.
Setup
The CIT-10 is a PC-controlled test equipment. It can be operated by any commercial IBM compatible PC (Microsoft
®
Windows software)
via USB port. All settings of the equipment, e.g. start frequency, stop frequency, step width, test voltage etc. are made by means of the control
software which is also included in the delivery. The three functional units RF-signal generator, RF-power amplifier and RF-voltmeter are set
automatically by the software, depending on the pre-set test parameters. Each component, however, may also be called and operated as
separate measuring and testing equipment. This means: using the CIT-10 as testing system, you have three full, additional “single units” at
your disposal, for which separate inputs and outputs are available as BNC connections. Due to the computer-aided control of the CIT-10, any
modifications which may become necessary, for example, due to the revision of standards, may be performed without problems and without
having to manipulate the hardware of the equipment.
Functioning
The equipment is ready for operation immediately after con-
nection with the USB port and installation of the drivers and
the control software. After starting the control software, the
main menu offers the manual control of
Internal RF-Voltmeter
Accurate measurements of RF signals from -40 dBm up to
+30 dBm are done by the internal RF-voltmeter which can be
accessed (for separate use) via a BNC connector. Two internal
voltmeters measure the forward and reverse power on an optional
available directional coupler. If no directional coupler is installed,
the output voltage of the amplifier is measured.
BCI-Tests with additional RF-Power Meter
For BCI-Tests the CIT-10 can be equipped with up to 3 pieces
of internal power meters.
User defined signals
External signals (e.g. EUT-fail or external instruments) can be
connected and monitored using the application software.
