SynthHD Mini Microwave RF Signal Generator
The SynthHD Mini is the smallest 10MHz to 15GHz RF Signal Generator in the world. Expect excellent performance despite the ultra-small size and price of this device.
HD stands for high definition:
- 10 MHZ to 15 GHZ in 0.01 Hz steps
- -13 dBm to +20 dBm (typical) in 0.01 dB steps
- Select internal 27MHz reference or use external 10-100MHz reference
- Pulse, AM, and FM internal modulation including FMCW radar chirp
- Pulse Modulation with 1uS minimum width and 1uS resolution
- Pulse, AM, and FM external modulation from DC – 10KHz
- Powerful Trigger modes allow external triggering of most functions without a PC connected
- Linear, %, and list mode (frequency and amplitude hopping) sweeps
- Save all settings to the device for use without a PC
- 32 bit ARM processor onboard which is Arduino compatible
- Labview GUI executable and source code (pictured below) included with purchase
- Windows, Linux, and Android compatibility
- Designed and manufactured in the USA with maximized value and cost ratio
