The RFS-2G42G5050X+ is a new generation solid state connectorized high-power signal source module which can be used in a wide range of industrial, scientific, and medical applications in the 2400-2500 MHz ISM band. The RFS-2G42G5050X+ is a fully programmable, versatile, and flexible RF signal generator. The RFS-2G42G5050X+ provides many advantages over traditional magnetrons, such as longer lifespan, frequency tuning, better frequency stability, precise control of output power, and lower power supply voltage. This rugged high power signal source is capable of providing signals (CW & pulsed) from 0.5W to 50W output power with built-in monitoring and protection for temperature, current, supply voltage, forward power, and reverse power. The RFS-2G42G5050X+ includes a signal generator that can be adapted by the end user to support different types of applications. The RFS-2G42G5050X+ can also be used as a stand-alone high-power amplifier including control, monitoring, and protection features.

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 destroy. 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 for resetting protection alarms.

Full software support is provided, including a user-friendly GUI application, a comprehensive application programmer interface (API) and programming instructions for both Windows and Linux environments, and a Labview™ instrument driver.
