Description
The TPI-1001-B is a compact, USB-powered radio frequency (RF) signal generator designed for engineers, educators, and wireless developers. Built around the Analog Devices ADF4351 chip, it provides a frequency range of 35 MHz to 4.4 GHz with exceptional phase noise performance and modulation flexibility. Whether you’re in the lab, in the field, or at your bench, this signal generator delivers precision, portability, and value.
Core Features
- Output frequency: 35 MHz – 4400 MHz
- Phase noise: -91 dBc/Hz @ 1 GHz, -86 dBc/Hz @ 2.4 GHz (10 kHz offset)
- RF output power: +10 dBm to -80 dBm, accurate within ±1 dB (90 dB dynamic range)
- Internal 10 MHz Temperature Compensated Oscillator (TCXO)
- External 10 MHz reference input and output (BNC, DC coupled)
- Durable extruded aluminum enclosure
TPI-Link Software Interface
Control the TPI-1001-B using the powerful and intuitive TPI-Link GUI, which includes multiple configuration tabs. The software supports Windows 7, 8, and 10, and includes free lifetime upgrades and embedded firmware updates.
Generator Tab:
Configure up to 12 presets, power the VCO on/off, and manage the 10MHz reference input.
Modulation Tab:
Supports both wideband and narrowband FM, OOK, Morse Code, and Beacon mode. Easily switch between modulation types or create repeatable test patterns.

Scan Tab:
Run frequency or power sweeps for rapid analysis.
Analyzer Tab:
Use the built-in RF detector with 65 dB range to perform scalar network analysis, return loss, and VSWR measurements. Compatible with directional couplers.
- Plot data as PNG, JPEG, CSV, and more

Script Tab:
Create and store automated test scripts directly on the unit. Power the unit with a USB battery and run scripts standalone with a button press – ideal for mobile testing.
System Tab:
Control auxiliary port functions and output trigger events with 14 programmable options. Onboard buttons can be configured for RF on/off or other custom controls.
Built-in Intelligence
- Powered by an Atmel microcontroller, the TPI-1001-B can:
- Store the last configuration state for standalone operation
- Run without a PC once configured
- Accept future upgrades via TPI-Link (MCU firmware included)
