RF Consultants, Test Engineers, Educators and Students, Antenna Range Technicians, Production Test Engineers, Site Survey Technicians and Ham Radio Enthusiasts

After 18 months of development I am offering this amazing Signal Generator, the TPI-1001-B. The hardware is amazing and the software is truly awesome. Over 160 sold in the last 9 months.

I have sold over 1500 units of my Version 4 and Version 5 Signal Generators without a single return. 100% satisfaction.

Read the 100% positive feedback and purchase with confidence. Actually before purchasing less expensive models you have to read the feedback from all suppliers. These SG's are all I sell so look at the feedback. There is a reason they hide their feedback. Designed and made in the great state of Texas by an RF Engineer with 30+ years of product development experience.

This document will provide a brief description of the features of the TPI-1001-B Synthesizer.

This synthesizer utilizes the Analog Devices PLL integrated circuit ADF4351.

ADF4351 FEATURES

Output frequency range: 35 MHz to 4400 MHz

Fractional-N synthesizer and integer-N synthesizer

Low phase noise VCO (1GHz 10Khz offset = -91dBc/Hz)(2.4GHz = -86dBc/Hz)

Typical rms jitter: <0.4 ps rms

TPI-1001-B Synthesizer FEATURES

Internal Reference is 10MHz Temperature Compensated Clock Oscillator at +/-1.5 ppm over temperature.

External Reference Input is -15dBm to +13dBm 50 ohm. Any standard 10MHz reference will work.

10MHz Reference Output available at back panel. The Reference is accessed via a BNC connector (New Metal Connectors). The output will drive a 50 ohm coaxial cable. DC Coupled 0v to 3.3v

Trigger Output configurable with dozens of trigger events

Auxiliary Input configurable (see photo)

Morse Code Module / Beacon Module configurable under "Modulation" tab

The unit has been *calibrated and the RF Output Power is accurate within +/-1dBm with 90% of all readings within 0.5dB of reported power 35MHz to 4GHz.

Output Power is available from +10dBm to -86dBm (96dB linear range) See User Manual. Frequencies 35MHz to 2600Mhz (+10 to -86dBm). Frequencies above 2600MHz (+10 to -80dBm)

Attenuator Features:

Attenuator section can be automatically stepped at any values between +10 to -80dBm (under the “SCAN” tab)

Attenuator can be manually stepped both up and down.

Step size is adjustable

Attenuator Step speed is adjustable

RF Frequency Step Features:

RF Step function with 1KHz resolution and selectable time per step (under the SCAN tab)

Single Step function Up/Down selectable step size

Single Step Function or Continuous loop

FM / OOK / FSK / Morse Code and Beacon Features :

A rich set of features located under the “Modulation” tab (see photo)

Load Test Scripts, Control Scripts, Modulation Scripts into on-board storage. Set the Control function button to whatever event you are using, release from the laptop, apply 5v battery supply and run your scripts, your beacons or whatever you have configured.

Analyzer Features:

The RF detector circuit is calibrated across the entire 35MHz to 4GHz band. Maximum input is +10dBm and the circuit has greater than 60 dB of dynamic range.

Measure Filter responses to include Insertion loss and filter shape/rejection. Measure amplifier gains and frequency response.

By adding your own directional coupler you can accurately measure reflected power and VSWR (see Photos)

You can also use that port to measure RF Power from any source.

Additional features include a “Script” tab that allows you to write your own test sequences and store them in the on board memory.

The System tab monitors all power supplies, sets trigger thresholds, and includes a rich set of features for the Auxiliary input port plus much more. The Aux port can accept data packets to control modulation. It is calibrated and can act as a DVM +5 to -5Vdc.

Battery Power Input to allow the unit to "Stand Alone" and run test sequences stored in memory or Beacons or Morse Code.

Packaged in extruded Aluminum housing with Aluminum End Plates. (I have designed some Band Pass Filters and Low Pass Filters. Let me know if you need something specific.)

This package includes a CD with drivers and an executable file that will install and run on a PC with Windows XP, Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10 (USB cable included ).

MCU/SOFTWARE: 

An Atmel microcontroller (MCU) is used to communicate with the synthesizer, the attenuators, and various other devices within the unit. The MCU also facilitates communication with the host PC via a USB connection. When the unit receives power, the MCU configures the hardware to the state last saved within TPI‑Link. In this way, the TPI‑1001‑B can operate stand-alone as a fixed frequency signal generator, a scanner, a modulated signal generator, a radio beacon, or can run a stored script. TPI‑Link is used to control the unit in real-time and to configure the power up state of the unit. There is an added application note and the ability to write your own code to control the unit.

Software is the real prize with this unit. The software is incredible and very powerful. This unit far outweighs every other USB powered unit on eBay in performance and features.

Future software upgrades for both TPI‑Link and the MCU’s firmware can be distributed as a single PC application, a new version of TPI‑Link, which has the MCU’s firmware embedded within it. TPI‑Link can upload the new firmware directly to the unit without the need for any other programs or hardware.

The GUI, TPI‑Link, runs on a PC and communicates with the unit via the USB port. TPI‑Link can completely configure and operate the unit. The unit’s configuration can be saved in nonvolatile (persistent) memory in the unit for use each time the unit is powered. For this reason TPI‑Link does not necessarily have to be running whenever the unit is in use, but it facilitates many real-time activities and can monitor the various power supplies in the unit.

A very informative “Help” feature is included that describes most of the features found in the TPI-1001-B Signal Generator. BTW it costs me over $60 to ship Internationally but I have kept the fee at $45. I can ship using your FedEx and UPS accounts and refund shipping.
