The DS Instruments TT7000 combines a calibrated RMS RF Power Meter, a wide-band frequency counter, and a RF Signal Generator into one miniature USB device. Incredibly useful in production verification environments and other automated test setups, the TT7000 brings great value to any project. Fractional-N synthesis signal generation covers 300MHz to 9600MHz with low phase noise and adjustable output power. RF Power Meter functionality covers from -45 to +5 dBm for frequencies between 100MHz to 7GHz. Not only is the TT7000 powered from USB and controlled with standard SCPI commands, but it also provides also a stand-alone user interface and display. For only $999 no modern microwave laboratory can be without an instrument of this utility and portability. No host computer required. Designed and built in USA with only genuine cutting-edge semiconductors.
