The RFS-2G42G51K0+ is a new generation solid-state connectorized rack-mount high-power amplifier with an integrated signal source, capable of supporting both CW and pulsed applications. The unit can be used in a wide range of industrial, scientific, and medical applications in the 2400-2500 MHz ISM band. The compact water-cooled system is built around four Mini-Circuits ZHL-2425-250X+ 250W pallets. The amplifier features built-in protection for temperature, current, forward power, and reverse power. USB, Ethernet, EtherCAT, and RS-485 interfaces are available. A Windows-based GUI provides access to the signal/ PWM source as well as monitoring functions. A front-panel touchscreen shows the amplifier status and allows the user to configure and control the device. Internal AC to DC power supplies provide the power for the unit.
The high-power signal source (or amplifier when configured as such) has internal shutdown circuitry and integrated protection functions for added reliability under difficult operating conditions, making it virtually impossible to damage. The basic highpower signal source can be controlled externally through a user-friendly USB interface to monitor forward and reflected power to support dynamic load analysis, temperature monitoring, current monitoring, shutdown alarms, enable/disable the signal source/amplifier, and resetting protection alarms.
