RF Continuous Wave Signal Source at the ISM Frequency of 13.56MHz

Miss a fair amount of class time did you?

not just need a some help understanding this project a little new to the RF world

I'm thinking this is for bench testing rfid tags in livestock management....

what? this is just a project I need to do for school so I just looking to be put in the right direction and I'm what you mentioned is not it

thanks though

What you are describing is a bench testing rig for RFID tags generally used in livestock management....so this info is intended as a starting place for you to look for methods of construction to meet your requirements...

Trade school not looking so bad now?

What you need first is to design a RF 10-15 Watts transmitter, or just buy one.

Connect this to your load/antenna/dump and put your RF watt meter in the circuit.

Depending on the shape of the desired signal, you could work with an oscillator or generate your RF digitally.

I just don't get the "closed" nature of it, because all your used components will be radiating something, unless you encase it all properly.

In that case however, one can argue what is the purpose of your exercise.

How will you handle this assignment in real life?

You are not off to a good start.

This is a tough technical job interview question "How will you handle your assignment in real life". Worth a GA, nope, GQ - "Good Question"

This question must be answered before OP ever applies for a job.

I've hired all manner of engineers in the last 35 years.

Even entry level engineers had better know how to find answers. Especially in today's IT rich world.

I agree, Lyn.

I've seen a job worth $500, using continuous wave analysis on an application instead of Fourier's on a freelance site. I bet OP's just fishing.

Try the part of the circuit inside the box posted by lyn to generate the signal

You will need an amplifier to get it up to 10W

A 30V supply of at least 1A should do you

Good Luck!

10W 13.56 MHz into 50 ohms requires about 25V signal with 500mA drive capacity. You can easily get 10-15W 50-ohms resistance as dummy load. Look at Mini Circuits for it.
