Saelig Company Inc. has announced the availability of the Windfreak SynthHD Mini, a software tunable RF signal source that generates signals from 10 MHz to 15 GHz with a 0.01 Hz resolution and an output power of up to 20 dBm. The generator also supports FM, AM, Pulse, Sweep, and List modulations. It can be programmed for standalone operation, running without any PC connection, to produce any frequency, power, sweep, or modulation setting or combinations thereof. When powered by 5V it becomes a highly mobile, low power, lightweight solution for a wide range of RF signal generation needs.
This compact 1.6” x 1.6” x 0.5” RF signal generator can be powered from a controller running Windows, Linux or Android via its USB port, requiring 5 V at 400 mA. The output amplitude can be adjusted in 0.01 dB steps up to +20 dBm and across a range of more than 30 dB.
Key Specifications:
- 10 MHz to 15 GHz in 0.01 Hz steps
- -13 dBm to +20 dBm (typical) in 0.01 dB steps
- Select internal 27 MHz references or use external 10 – 100 MHz reference
- Pulse, AM, and FM internal modulation including FMCW radar chirp
- Pulse Modulation with 1 μS minimum width and 1 μS resolution
- Pulse, AM, and FM external modulation from DC – 10 kHz
- Powerful Trigger modes allow external triggering of most functions without a PC connected
- Linear, %, and list mode (frequency and amplitude hopping) sweeps
- All settings savable to the device for use without a PC
- 32-bit ARM processor onboard which is Arduino compatible
- LabVIEW GUI executable and source code provided
- Windows, Linux, and Android compatibility
This software-tunable generator is suitable for use in applications such as wireless communications systems, RF and microwave radios, software-defined radio, radar, automated test equipment (ATE), radiated immunity pre-compliance testing, electronic warfare, law enforcement, medical research, etc.
Designed and manufactured in the USA by Windfreak Technologies, a producer of low cost, innovative RF products that are in use worldwide in a variety of technical applications, the SynthHD Mini is a highly mobile, low power, lightweight solution for sophisticated RF signal generation needs.
