Highest-precision and compact frequency controller Made in Germany
The BELEKTRONIG SAW Generator BSG is used to control SAW actuators for professional applications in acoustofluidics. It integrates network analyzer, frequency generator,
power amplifier and power meter in a single compact device. It is capable of replacing the cost-intensive and complex setups that have been necessary so far to drive and characterize SAW actuators.
The SAW actuators are driven by a
high-frequency alternating voltage with variable frequency
and amplitude. The optimal excitation frequency is automatically re-adjusted when deviations are tracked.
BSG Soft: Characterize and monitor SAW
actuators in operation
With the user software BSG Soft all functions of the BELEKTRONIG signal generators can be conveniently controlled. The clear interface allows to set the output frequency.output power and signal phase as well as the frequency limits. Users can also choose between different operation modes.
The device status (output frequency and output power) as well as the actuator properties (reflection factor) are continuously monitored. The data can also be recorded.
The full documentation includes the interface protocol as
well as LabView VIs for easy integration into your own software projects.
Three at a time: complexity reduction, time savings and cost savings
For acoustofluidic experiments so far, complex experimental
setups have been made out of several cost-intensive measuring and control devices. Additionally specific knowledge
in the field of high-frequency technology was required. To
change this, we have integrated a scalar network analyzer,
a frequency generator as well as power amplification and
measurement in a single device: the SAW Generator BSG.
Automated scanning capabilities allow you simple characterization of the connected SAW actuators and tracking of the excitation frequency
