Frankonia CIT-10 Overview
The Frankonia CIT-10 is a complete test system for conducted RF-immunity tests according to IEC/EN 61000-4-6, ISO 11452-4, MIL-STD 461 CS114, SAE-J1113-2, DC 10614 and similar standards. Its internal RFgenerator and RF-power amplifier produce output signals with max. up to 150 W within a frequency range from 100 (10) kHz up to 400 MHz. Generated signals are measured via one of the max. 3 internal RFVolt-meters. Furthermore via an optional, internal directional coupler forward and reflected power can be measured. The whole test system allows full au-tomatic tests for the specified frequency range. As a “stand-alone” test system the CIT-10 is convincing by its easy and comfortable handling and the excellent cost-performance ratio. Addons like coupling/decou-pling devices are available as well.

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.
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 %.
BCI-Tests with additional RF-Power Meter
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 %.
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.
Internal RF-Signal Generator
As the internal generator generates its output signal without any internal mixing components, low harmonics and spurious frequencies are assured.
User defined signals
External signals (e.g. EUT-fail or external instruments) can be connected and monitored using the application software.
Applications:
Immunity Testing
Testing according to IEC/EN 61000-4-6, ISO 11452-4, MIL-STD 461 CS114, DC10614 can be performed automatically.
Generation, amplification and verification of RF-Signals
The internal amplifier amplifies any signal from 100 (10) kHz up to 400 MHz. By using the internal generator a desired narrowband signal can be generated. Signals up to 30 dBm can be measured at the same time. If a directional coupler is installed, forward and reflected power are measured as well.
