Manual                      RF Signal-

Generator 

 

 
3.4. 

Battery / Power supply 

 

All  BPSG  Signal  Generators  come  with  internal  LiPo-Battery  which  offers  3  –  4  hours  run-
time.  
 
The charging time for the LiPo-Battery is about 90 minutes. The Charge-LED will turn red at 
the  beginning  of  the  charging  process.  When  charging  is  complete,  the  Charge-LED  turns 
green. 
 
By pressing the ON/OFF switch, you can turn the Generator on and off. When the Generator 
is turned on, the ON/OFF LED lights red. 
 
For a continuous operation, the included power supply can be used.  
 
You  can  connect  also  other  DC  sources  with  12V.    As  connecting  plug  a  3,5mm  jack  plug 
has to be used. The connecting plug has to be poled as follows: The inner pole is “+” and the 
outer pole is “-”.  With our optional power adapter for the cigarette lighter (see our pricelist) 
you can charge or operate signal generator also in the car. 

 
 
 
 
4.  Application Examples 

 

  Attenuation tests 

  EMC - radiated immunity pre-compliance testing 

  Generating modulations (AM, FM, PM)  

  Wireless communications systems 

  Microwave point to point backhaul radios 

  Software Defined Radio (SDR) 

  Radar 

  Automated Test Equipment (ATE) 

  Sweeping and hopping 

  Scalar Network Analyzers (SNA) 

  Complex waveform electronic warfare (EW) 

  Phase Lock Loop (PLL) Synthesizer Design 

  Local Oscillator (LO) replacement 

  Hobbyist radio development and many more... 

 
 
 
 

5.  First Operation 

 

The first step should be the installation of the included Generator software. The software is 
necessary to control the BPSG, change its settings, save sweep profiles and for firmware 
updates.  
 
Therefore, please use the included CD, open the Auto-Installer and follow the described 
steps.  
 
Once installed please connect your BPSG with the included USB-Cable to the PC and power 
it on. The software automatically recognizes the BPSG.
