Homebrew 3 Channel Pure SIN Generator ( 0 ... 60MHz )

Go for it Yucca

A great bit of kit for the bench, and future TPU exploration work.

Not sure if the feedback idea will work , as SM has mentioned you can expect to find a hole in your bench if you find the correct frequency's, might be best a put it in a flame proof box 

Cheers Peter,

I'm putting opto isolator in feedback path. But you are right, perhaps if the "worst case" intermod combination is found in the correctly wound device then my unit may be zapped along with the rest of my bench!

p.s dont underestimate the Smith rig you are building, this afternoon I lost a 1gig memory card that was sat on the bench about 50cm away. It is now unreadable and unformattable. I was putting less than 5W into HV module.

Sorry to hear that Yucca.
I am setting up a bench in an underground disused room i have access to, to try and isolate any modern technology as anywhere else is packed full of the stuff and to try to stop radiation of the noise generated.

A good ground should be easy as well, just hope it doesnt stop the OU from showing up.

To think if Tesla powered up his giant Tesla these days he would probably knock every computer and cell phone out for miles LOL

@Yucca,

Over the past few years the 'hardware' oriented cells in my brain haven't had much stimulation.

THIS has them all buzzing again! Yes, I know. The parts aren't that hot but the combination, possibilities and the idea.....

TPU or not I could find several uses for such a beast. This makes me yearn for the familiar smell of hot solder joints.

I write WindBlows/*Nix software (real coding - not 'modern' software development) for relaxation.

Please keep us informed how it goes. It sounds like you don't need help with software. If you do, send me a list of wants & needs. I'll be happy to look into it!

Thanks Bep, when it comes to writing a desktop computer interface (to log and maybe display scan data etc) then your expertise could be good.

Most of my time spent on this project will be software. The hardware is all pretty much plug and play modules. Of course I´ll have to fire up the soldering iron a little and also make some enclosure for it.

Stay tuned as I develop I´ll post more, probably post a short vid demoing the user interfaces main screen soon.

Yucca, All I can say is   "NICE!"  .

(The mentioned specs are excellent!  Should do the job, no matter the job.)

Cheers Loner, the tight specs are mainly thanks to the IC manufacturer and the guys who designed and build the DDS modules, awesome technology made available to hobby level experimenters!
