The KSL FLARE Test Source is a portable hand operated signal generator designed to produce known and controlled test signals for in-field equipment verification of TSCM equipment. This can be used before and during security sweeps to test TSCM equipment.

FLARE can generate a range of spot radio frequencies or sweep across a range of frequencies. The RF signal is modulated with a sine wave or with an audio signal streamed into the device by the user. It can also transmit onto the GHz band by using its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules.
| Frequencies | 110-970 MHz 2400-2484 MHz 5180-5825 MHz |
-10 dBm to +10 dBm 14-16 dBm 13-14 dBm |
| Modulation | CW. OOK, FSK, audio-in | |
FLARE will modulate a signal onto visible and infrared light, effectively flashing it to simulate passing data. The light may be modulated with a set pattern, or audio may be streamed over it.
| Wavelengths | 450 nm 860 nm |
Visible white light, 28200 mcd Near infrared, 20° view angle |
| Modulation | CW, OOK 0.5Hz, FSK AM 1-400KHz, audio-in | |
All the signals can be activated or deactivated individually.


The device incorporates two Bluetooth modules and is therefore able to establish a Client and Server independently, to simulate Advertising, Scanning and Connection modes. Once connected it can transfer a known signal or stream audio between modules. MAC address randomization and display are included.
| Frequencies | 2.4-2.48 GHz |
| Version | Bluetooth 5, BLE5, & backwards compatible |
| Power | < 7 dBm |
The device incorporates two Wi-Fi modules, able to pose as Access Point (AP) and Client independently. Once connected together, a constant communication is established.
| Frequencies | 2.4 GHz, 5GHz |
| Version | 802.11 a/b/g/n on Wi-Fi 1,2,3,4, supports HT20 & HT40 |
| Encryption | Built-in AES, DES, SHA |
The fully safety-compliant mains functionality of FLARE will plug into a mains electricity supply and insert an analogue or digital signal as required. The analogue signal can be a sine wave at set or swept frequencies, or modulated audio streamed from the audio-in port on FLARE. The digital signal comprises Powerline Communication paging, which simulates IP carriers over mains wiring.
| Frequencies | 10kHz-12.5MHz |
An RJ45 connector enables analogue signals comprising either a constant carrier or modulated audio to be injected onto a pair of wires. Not limited to just an Ethernet cable, this could be used with telephone or alarm cables too. Transmitted signals can be on a spot frequency or swept across the whole range.
| Frequencies | 50 kHz-200 kHz |
The device will output a continuous wave (CW) carrier at selectable frequencies, and sweep across a frequency range. It will also modulate audio from the audio-in port onto the ultrasonic output to simulate transfer of data.
| Frequencies | 16kHz-100kHz |
A headphone-level socket allows a variable-level audio signal to be output to a speaker or other equipment.
| Frequencies | 20Hz-20kHz |
