SynthHD Mini - Compact Software Tunable Windfreak 10MHz to 15GHz RF Signal Generator for Standalone Operation

10 May 2021 - 0 Comments

Windfreak SynthHD Mini from Saelig Company is a software tunable RF signal source that generates signals from 10MHz to 15GHz with 0.01Hz resolution and output power of up to 20dBm. The new generator can support FM, AM, Pulse, Sweep, and List modulations. Without the support of a PC connection, the device can be programmed for standalone operation for producing any frequency, power, sweep, or modulation setting or combinations thereof.

The small-sized (1.6” x 1.6” x 0.5”) RF signal generator can be powered by a controller running Windows, Linux, or Android via its USB port, requiring 5V at 400mA. The device becomes a highly mobile, low-power, lightweight solution for a wide range of RF signal generation needs when it is powered by 5V. The output amplitude can be adjusted in 0.01 dB steps up to +20dBm and across a range of more than 30dB.

The new 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.
