RF Signal Generator With Power Detector
The SynthNV is a CE certified, 34.4MHz to 4.4GHz software tunable RF signal generator controlled and powered by a PC running Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 10, or Android via itsUSB port. WinXP supported by older versions of SynthNV software. It includes an onboard RF power detector which can be used with the sweep function as a basic RF network analyzer.
The SynthNV also has nonvolatile onboard memory so it can be programmed to fire up by itself on any frequency, power, or modulation setting. This makes for a highly mobile, low power, and lightweight solution for your RF signal generation needs.
Use this device as a generic RF signal generator in your test setup, or use it as a high quality local oscillator in your RF or microwave communication system. Simultaneously measure and graph RF power in real-time.
