MIL-STD-461: CS106 / CS115 / CS116 GENERATORS
Montena develops and manufactures transient generators for conducted susceptibility tests according to the MIL-STD-461 CS115, CS116 and CS106 test methods.
Fast calibration, reduced testing time
Automatic generation of calibration and test reports
Expandable solution: can include CS114, CS115 and CS106
Used by more than 200 labs worldwide
CS116 GENERATOR
The CS116 requirement defines damped sine transients to be coupled onto the equipment under test at several frequencies in the range 10 kHz to 100 MHz to simulate events such as NEMP and lightning.
Montena POG-CS116 generator has a single signal output for all test frequencies. This allows the execution of all test frequencies without re-cabling or module exchange. The calibration phase is performed automatically in about a minute thanks to a dedicated control software. The generator is proposed with up to 17 test frequencies, to enable a better excitation of the resonances of the EUT.
The POG-CS116 generator can host additional pulse modules for CS106 and CS115 pulse delivery beside the built-in CS116 modules. The CS115 and CS116 pulse modules are all connected to the same generator output.
CS115 GENERATOR
CS115 uses a fast trapezoidal pulse to excite natural resonances associated with cables. The basic concern is to protect equipment from fast rise and fall time transients that may be present due to platform switching operations and external transient environments such as lightning and electromagnetic pulses.
CS106 GENERATOR
CS115 uses a fast trapezoidal pulse to excite natural resonances associated with cables. The basic concern is to protect equipment from fast rise and fall time transients that may be present due to platform switching operations and external transient environments such as lightning and electromagnetic pulses.

FAQ
What types of transient generators does Montena develop and manufacture?
Montena develops transient generators for conducted susceptibility tests according to the MIL-STD-461 CS115, CS116, and CS106 test methods.
What is the CS116 generator and what does it do?
The CS116 generator produces damped sine transients at frequencies from 10 kHz to 100 MHz to simulate events like NEMP and lightning. It features a single signal output for all test frequencies without requiring re-cabling or module exchange, and automated calibration in about a minute.
Can the CS116 generator be expanded for other tests?
Yes, the POG-CS116 can host additional pulse modules for CS106 and CS115 pulse delivery, all connected to the same output.
What is the purpose of the CS115 generator?
The CS115 generator uses fast trapezoidal pulses to excite natural resonances associated with cables, protecting equipment from fast rise/fall transients due to platform switching, lightning, or electromagnetic pulses.
What about the CS106 generator?
CS106 also uses fast trapezoidal pulses similar to CS115 to protect equipment from transient events like lightning and electromagnetic pulses caused by platform switching operations.
Where can I find detailed technical data and documentation about these generators?
All technical data and resources about Montena’s conducted susceptibility generators and other EMC solutions are available online for detailed specifications and support.
