USB-TG44A Signal Tracking Generator

USB-TG44A Tracking Generator 1.10 Hz to 4.4 GHz 2.Perform complex automated tasks using the API.

The Signal Hound TG44A is a USB-based,10 Hz to 4.4 GHz, economy tracking generator and CW signal generator. Using recent innovations in RF technology, the TG44A turns your SA44B spectrum analyzer into a versatile scaler network analyzer. It can measure gain, frequency response, compression, flatness, and insertion loss on components and subsystems.As an economy CW signal generator, the TG44A is adequate for tasks that will tolerate harmonics that are typically < -10dBc, eliminating the need for a generator costing many times that of the TG44A.The TG44A is powered from the USB cable, which also eliminates the need for a separate power supply. Measuring less than 8 inches long and weighing only 10 ounces, the TG44A can be used virtually anywhere!

Adds versatile scalar network analysis capability to your USB-SA44B Spectrum Analyzer .Use as a CW Signal Generator for tasks that will tolerate harmonics of typically < -10dBc.Perform complex automated tasks using the API.

System RequirementsThe USB-TG44A is packaged with application software that is used on a PC running Windows XP® or Windows 7® operating systems. You must have at least 1GB of free disc space, 1GB of RAM, and USB 2.0.

The Signal Hound® graphical user interface software, or GUI, is designed so that the SA44B Spectrum Analyzer can run by itself or in combination with the TG44A Tracking Generator as a completely integrated system. The Signal Hound® GUI provides a virtual control panel on the user’s PC for sending commands to the SA44B and TG44A over the USB. The GUI also receives and processes signal data, over the USB and into the user’s PC, for display and/or screen capture.
