The power beyond expectations
High Power (+24dBm) Signal Generator 2-18GHz
Summary
RF1457 is a low cost version CW and Analog signal generator. The equipment uses the temperature compensated crystal
oscillator (TCXO ) as reference which is locked with 10MHz GPS signal. The TCXO works with the frequency multipliable matrix,
so that the signal generator can achieve the frequency stability up to 5x10E‐7 per hour. RF1457 can generate signal 2‐18GHz with

1MHz~99MHz sweeping step. Higher output power up to 24dBm CW . The GPIB and RS‐232 interfaces are also available for
automatic control and operation.

- Page 7 RF-LAMBDA RF1457 The power beyond expectations 5. RS232 Serial Port communication Protocol communication frame ：BBH (“H” is stand for hex) + Data（4Bytes） Baud rate：9600bps the data is made up of one start bit, eight data bits , one stop bit , and there is no stop bit for checkout. We use cross line for serial port pin layout. The flow chart of the controller to send command Set frequency and power the controller sends: BBH + 4bytes data 4bytes data = 3byte frequency (The same order as the screen shows) 1byte power (MSB bit is stand for positive or negative.) Sample: If you want to set the frequency value at 6GHz and the power value at 10dBm, the command is ： BBH BBH + 00H + 60H + 00H + 0AH H 6 H H AH If you want to set the frequency value at 8GHz and the power value at 24dBm, the command is ： BBH + 00H + 80H + 00H + 18H If you want to set the frequency value at 12GHz and the power value at 9dBm, the command is ： BBH + 01H + 20H + 00H +09H If the signal generator return value is equal to 1DH, it means the command was sent and ...
