Description

High-Precision Signal Generator with Scalar Analysis and PLL Accuracy Tuning

The TPI-1001-C is an enhanced USB-powered radio frequency (RF) signal generator that expands upon the TPI-1002-A by integrating two powerful features: a calibrated RF detector for scalar measurements and PLL frequency accuracy tuning capable of reaching 100 parts per billion (ppb). Ideal for engineers, RF developers, educators, and HAM operators, this compact unit is a professional-grade tool built for high-precision RF testing, including narrowband receiver development, amplifier gain analysis, and antenna tuning.

Whether you’re designing advanced receivers or fine-tuning lab-grade filters, the TPI-1001-C delivers industry-level performance in a compact, affordable, and Made-in-USA form factor.

TPI-1001-C Signal Generator Core Features

  • Frequency range: 35 MHz to 4.4 GHz
  • RF output power: +13 dBm* to -90 dBm, calibrated accuracy within ±1 dB
    • +13 dBm from 100MHz to 700Mhz
    • +12 dBm from 700Mhz to 900Mhz
    • +10 dBm through 4GHz
  • PLL frequency accuracy tuning: Down to 200ppb, ideal for narrow bandwidth receiver design
  • 10 MHz reference oscillator and external reference input supported
  • Integrated calibrated RF detector for VSWR, Return Loss, and Insertion Loss measurements with approximately 70dB dynamic range
  • Durable extruded aluminum enclosure with high-quality SMA and BNC connectors

Smart Software: TPI-Link GUI

Control every function of the TPI-1001-C using TPI-Link, an intuitive PC-based interface. The software supports real-time signal control, analysis, scripting, and calibration, and includes firmware upgrades delivered directly via USB. Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. In addition, the same software controls all TPI products. So, if you have a 1002-A and a 1006-A, it makes no difference. You can control both with TPI-Link software. Currently at Version 24 of the software. 

Most version updates are the result of our clients asking for special software adjustments to better implement their testing requirements such as triggers and offsets. The “About” tab has a link to ask the software composer a question or offer a suggestion. We update these software enhancements for free.
