Dear Colm,
Aspen Electronics Ltd in the UK supply many of these components at competitive
prices.
Cheers,
Neil

hi colm,
for frequency synthesizers:
ebay, ali-express, and i think amazon have some synth boards with display
and controls that go to 4.4 GHz for about $150.
ds instruments has nicer synths (enclosed, usb/ethernet control, front
panel display and controls) that cost $400 to $2K, and go up to 22
Hi Colm,

Right. I was suggesting thinking of the RFSoC as “just” a piece of test
equipment. If the PYNQ layer abstracts the fact that it is an FPGA, and the
Hi David,
Many thanks for your reply.
Yes, we are working with the RF SoC boards for another project, so I have
access to those.
But for this new project, we were hoping to avoid FPGAs. We are aiming for
a more simple system that will allow physics students (without FPGA
experience) to perform
Hi Colm,
>> I am looking for components that easy to interface with via python
In that case, I would recommend investing in:

Students can still learn about RF mixers, power amplifiers, and LNAs, and they
would use the RFSoC board as a high-end
Dear Casper,
I hope you are all well today!
I am hoping some of you might have some advice/ideas for
easily-intefaceable RF components.
I want to purchase signal generators (~100 MHz), and a range of local
oscillators for a student project.
Ideally I am looking for components that easy to
