ERASynthMicro: USB powered, portable, open source, RF signal generator, supports 12.5MHz - 6.4GHz

ERASynthMicro is an open source analog RF signal generator that can be powered from a USB port and has an LCD interface for standalone use without a PC. It is equipped with an Arduino Micro microcontroller and a touch display. ERASynth Micro uses advanced PLL/VCO technology combined with an internal ultra-low phase noise frequency reference to form a programmable analog signal generator that can generate low phase noise RF signals from 12.5 MHz to 6.4 GHz. ERASynth Micro uses a dual-loop PLL architecture to provide fast frequency switching and fine tuning resolution. ERASynth Micro also provides frequency, amplitude and pulse modulation capabilities. Frequency tuning and control commands are loaded into the instrument through the serial interface or touch display or Windows GUI.
