correction factors is the worst – case chamber factor. The mean 
between the upper and lower envelope curve is the mean chamber 
factor. 
 
Chamber factors (in dB) are to be added to the field-strengths (in 
dB 
μV/m) measured in the camber in order to achieve open-site
equivalents (in dB
μV/m).
 
During operation with CalStan, the REFRAD, test receiver or 
spectrum analyzer, and antenna positioning mast are remotely 
controlled. The operator is guided through the procedure by 
commands appearing on the screen. 
 
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
COMB GENERATOR

Remote control decoder
Crystal
oscillator
and
divider
Switching
power
supply
Pulse
generator
Matching
network
 
The clock signal from the crystal oscillator is divided to the 
selected pulse repetition rate. With this signal the pulse generator 
produces nano-second pulses with a very high amplitude, requiring 
a voltage of 70 V generatored by the switching power supply. A 
resistive 50 Ohm matching network is provide between the pulse 
generator and the output. 
 
Due to the use of a regulated switching power supply, the output 
amplitude is stable for a 4.4 to 6 V power supply range.
