Cool!
How much did it cost? Can you post a picture of the other side of the PCB? I would like to see what IC is used instead of the ADF4350/ADF4351.
Please try it with my software - it should work up to 4.4GHz. I could add a selection for the frequency range of NWT6000, if it is just a matter of adjusting the frequency limits.
My software only uses the spectrum functionality, because my device is the cheap SMA device with only one ADF4350. It cannot input and output RF signal simultaneously. I implemented it this way, so you can at least run two windows of my software with two SMA devices: one for input, one for output... Interestingly, I have not tested that so far, despite having two SMA devices. Time is to short.
My software is definitly not prepared to work as a scaler analyser. I would have to own a NWT4000 or NWT6000 to implement that, but right now I cannot afford that.
Again, for everyone:
NWT500/4000/6000 uses two syntheziser chips. This means they can simultaneously read the RF signal on the input connector, produced by the output connector.
The NWT4000 uses two ADF4350 or ADF4351.
SMA Simple Spectrum Analyser: there are two versions (ADF4350 and ADF4351). They only feature ONE synthesizer (ADF4350/ADF4351). Hence, they can EITHER output an RF signal or input an RF signal, but not both simultaneously!
The ADF4350 has a frequency range of 138MHz to 4.4GHz.
The ADF4351 has a frequency range of 35MHz to 4.4GHz.
In the latest version of my software, you can switch between these two versions.
I could add support for other frequency ranges, provided that the rest of the firmware is compatible.
