The Solar 9354-1 Universal Transient Generator offers nine waveforms, including sinusoidal and double exponential pulses, for a range of pulse susceptibility tests in compliance with standards like MIL-STD-461G CS116 (damped sinusoidal transients, cables and power leads, 10kHz to 100 MHz). This model's versatile output can be tailored for various specifications using additional Solar accessories and common tools like antennas and TEM cells.
Features
- Panel mounted digital Voltmeter displays the open circuit discharge voltage
- Automatic or manual trigger for damped sinewave. Manual only for double exponential pulses
- Variable peak output voltage (adjustable from 0.1 to 100% of selected circuit discharge voltage
- An independent circuit for each waveform improves reliability, simplifies maintenance, and allows for customized waveforms and output impedances
- Solid state switching and RC networks across coils, switches, and relay contacts to reduce arcing, eliminate contact bounce, and increase component life

Applications
- The six damped sinusoidal waveforms meet the requirements of MIL-STD-461D, CS116, when applied in accordance with the corresponding test method of MIL-STD-462D. These same waveforms are applicable to the requirements of MIL-STD-461C, CS10 & CS11 when applied with the test method of MIL-STD-462, Notice 5
- Extended limits: Two of the six damped sinusoidal waveforms (1 MHz and 10 MHz) have their limits extended to an open circuit voltage of 3200 volts peak to meet the requirements of DO-160, Section 22, Table 22-2
- Double exponential: The double exponential pulses were specifically designed to meet the requirements of DO-160C, Section 22
