Compact bench power supply provides 175W
The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
Programmable power-supplies offer outputs to 1kW
The XHR range of programmable power supplies, offering output ratings up to 1 kW is power-factor corrected for low current draw and reduced generation of input current harmonics.
The true dynamic range of 90dB means that for a full-scale input signal the instrument has no spurious responses larger than -90dBc (one part in 30,000).
Even signals as small as -114dBc (one part in 500,000) may be observed by using averaging.
The SR760 uses a pair of high-speed 24bit digital signal processors to filter, heterodyne and transform sampled data from its 16bit analogue to digital convertor.

Programmable synthesised 1GHz RF generator
The TGR1040GP from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments) is a programmable synthesised RF signal generator with a frequency range up to 1GHz.
These DSPs can perform 25 million 24bit multiplications and additions each second.
This enormous computing capability allows the analysers to operate at a real-time bandwidth of 100kHz.
The power of the SR760 does not come at the expense of ease of use.
A simple menu-oriented interface logically groups related instrument functions.
Context-sensitive help is available for all keys and menus.
Entire instrument set-ups can be saved to disk and recalled in a single keystroke.
The spectrum, power spectral density and input time record can be displayed in a variety of convenient linear and logarithmic units, including volts, RMS voltage, dBV, dBVrms or user-defined engineering units.
The magnitude, phase and real and imaginary parts of complex signals can all be displayed.
Several window functions including Hanning, flat-top, uniform or Blackman-Harris can be chosen to optimise in-band amplitude accuracy or minimise out-of-band sidelobes.
The SR760 also computes both the 15 and 30 band 1/3 octave commonly used in acoustics and noise measurement applications.
A-weighting compensation is available for octave measurements.
Data tables allow up to 200 selected frequencies to be displayed in a tabular format, which can be printed out or saved to disk.
Convenient limit tables allow the entry of up to 100 separate upper or lower limit segments for pass-fail testing.
Three built-in analysis modes simplify common measurements.
Harmonic analysis computes both harmonic power and total harmonic distortion relative to a specified fundamental.
Sideband analysis computes power in a set of sidebands relative to the carrier power, and band analysis integrates the power in a selected frequency band.
All functions of the analyser can be queried and set via the standard RS232 and GPIB interfaces.
The SR760 costs GBP4680.00 (plus VAT).
