HF Test Bench Project
My little project ,which started out to be a software-controlled HF sweep
set, has taken on a life of its own. Although I'm calling it an HF Scalar Network Analyzer, it is now much more. The unit supplies unregulated 12V and regulated 5V to the circuit under development. The software system now has an analog meter panel that measures the DC output voltages, the DC output current, and also the DC voltage measured by a set of plug-in test probes. I'm going to start calling it the "HF Test Bench". It's all built from inexpensive off-the-shelf sub-assemblies. The power comes from the software. If you're interested in seeing what I'm doing, check out my web site at: http://mysite.verizon.net/jdrocci/. You can download my latest demo software package and get a feeling for how exciting this project has become. |

What do you estimate a final kit of parts would cost and what does your NA lack that an HP or Tek one doesn't? -- "I expect history will be kind to me, since I intend to write it." - Winston Churchill |
