TPI USB Wideband Signal Generator
Robert
Yarbrough, an independent consulting RF engineer, sent me information
on a nice compact, inexpensive,
wideband RF signal generator that he has developed. Joining what
has become a very extensive array of USB-powered test instruments -
signal generators, power meters, oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum
analyzers, software defined radios, etc. - from various vendors, the
TPI Synthesizer generates high spectral purity signals ranging from
35 MHz to 4.4 GHz with programmable output power levels from
-55 to +10 dBm. Sweeping can be set for both frequency and power
for testing both frequency and amplitude responses of passive and active
devices. The unit can be locked to a 10 MHz external reference
and it also has a buffered 10 MHz output for locking other devices
to the synthesizer. Executable user interface software runs under Windows,
and was developed for LabView and Tickle platforms. At a price of
only $330, this synthesizer is well within
the budgets of many experimenters and hobbyists, and can supplement
the research and development laboratory equipment of professional and
academic institutions. Extensive hardware and software descriptions
are available on the
TPI Wideband Signal Generator website.For amateur radio enthusiasts, Morse Code and beacon software modules are available.
BTW,
the logo in the document is a photo of the Project Trinity nuclear explosion,
not a single scoop of ice cream ;-)
I get quite a few requests for consultant referrals. If you are in need of assistance, you might consider talking to Robert.

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
