RF Training Kit (Board 1 and 2) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-CE-12381
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the RF Training Kit (Board 1 and 2) (Product ID: 12381), part of the Communication Equipment range under Laboratory equipment, a two-board RF circuit training system covering transmission-line theory, microstrip discontinuities, RF matching circuits and impedance-matching architectures via Smith-chart-based exercises.
Quick Answer
This RF Training Kit consists of two individual boards that introduce transmission-line circuits, RF/microwave network analysis, impedance transformation and impedance matching. It is built to strengthen understanding of impedance theory alongside real application circuits, using Smith-chart-based exercises to give students direct insight into RF transmission-line behaviour. Boards use gold-plated PCBs with broadband frequency response, a 0 dBm to −20 dB power level range, and support for open, short, matched, resistive and complex load conditions across RF matching circuits, bias circuits, and active and passive RF circuits.
Board 1 — Transmission Channel & Microstrip Discontinuities
| Circuit / line type | Frequency range | Load conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Open-air transmission | 0.9–3 GHz | Matched antenna |
| Co-axial cable transmission | 0.1–3 GHz | Open, short, resistive, complex load |
| Microstrip transmission line | 0.9–3 GHz | Open, short, resistive, complex load |
| CPW transmission line | 0.9–3 GHz | Open, short, resistive, complex load |
| Slot line | 0.9–3 GHz | Open, short, resistive, complex load |
| CPW transmission line with ground | 0.9–3 GHz | Open, short, resistive, complex load |
| Coupled-line microstrip transmission line | 0.9–3 GHz | Balanced resistive load, unbalanced load |
| Open discontinuity | 0.9–3 GHz | — |
| Short discontinuity | 0.9–1.3 GHz | Series & shunt capacitive load |
| Gap discontinuity | 0.9–1.3 GHz | Series & shunt inductive load |
| Bend discontinuity | 0.9–1.3 GHz | Complex load |
| Step discontinuity | 0.9–1.3 GHz | Series & shunt resistive load |
| Tee discontinuity | 0.9–1.3 GHz | Matched, resistive load |
Note: power level for each item above is 0 dBm to −20 dBm/dB except where marked — the manufacturer's specification lists the microstrip transmission line's power level as "0dBm to 20dBm" without a minus sign, inconsistent with every other line item's "0dBm to −20dBm" figure; this is presented as a likely sign typo, please confirm with our team. The source material also listed the "Short discontinuity" entry twice with identical figures; it is shown once here.
Board 2 — RF Circuits & Matching Architecture

| RLC resonance circuit | 0.3–1 GHz | Matched, resistive |
| Tunable resonance circuit | 0.3–1 GHz | Variable load |
| BALUN | 0.3–3 GHz | Variable load |
| DC Bias Tee | 0.3–1.3 GHz | 0 dBm; 25 dB isolation |

Background: Discontinuities and Impedance Matching
High-frequency and millimeter-wave PCB design depends on carefully laid-out transmission lines, and any point where a signal path changes — a width transition, a gap, a bend — introduces a discontinuity that shifts impedance away from the design target (commonly 50 Ω). The kit's Board 2 exercises work through several standard ways engineers correct for this: resistive-network matching (simple but lossy), quarter-wave transformer matching (a perfect match at one frequency, extendable to broadband use via cascaded sections of varying impedance), stub matching (a shorted stub placed at a calculated distance from the load), Pi-network matching (for transforming a high-impedance source to a lower-impedance load, or vice versa), and L-network matching. Recommended supporting test equipment for these exercises is a generator/detector unit, a spectrum analyser with tracking generator, and a vector network analyser (VNA).
Note: the manufacturer's source material labels its fifth matching technique "Impedance Matching Using L-Network" but then describes it as a "T-match" circuit named for its inductor/capacitor T-shape; this is a naming inconsistency in the source, presented as-is. The source also names a specific recommended generator/detector model, "10209I Generator and Detector" — this matches the model number of our 3GHz RF Generator and Detector (Product ID 12382), whose Control Unit is supplied as model 10209I; please confirm with our team that this is the exact unit intended before ordering.
