Mini-Circuits Introduces 750 W Signal Source from 902 to 928 MHz for RF Energy Applications

Mini-Circuits has introduced the RFS-G90G93750X+, a new generation solid-state connectorized high-power signal source module that can be used in a wide range of industrial, scientific, and medical applications in the 902-928 MHz ISM band. The RFS-G90G93750X+ is a fully programmable, versatile, and flexible RF signal generator that has been developed for RF Energy Applications. The RFS-G90G93750X+ provides many advantages over traditional magnetrons, such as a 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 2 W to 750 W output power with built-in monitoring and protection for amplifier temperature, load termination temperature, current, supply voltage, forward power, and reverse power. It consists of a signal generator and a phase shifter that can be adapted by the end user to support different types of applications. The RFS-G90G93750X+ 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 high-power 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. Separate temperature monitoring is provided for the RF amplifier section and for the circulator termination load.

This RF Signal Generator has 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.

Key Features:

  • High output power, 750W
  • 902 to 928 MHz ISM band
  • Suitable for CW and pulsed signals
  • High gain, 59 dB typical
  • High efficiency, 63%
  • High ruggedness
  • Built-in monitoring and protection for temperature, voltage, current, forward, and reflected power
  • Includes signal generation (frequency, amplitude, and phase control)
  • User-friendly USB interface
  • Labview™ instrument drivers and Modbus interface available
  • It can operate as a stand-alone amplifier

The RFS-G90G93750X+ module can be used as a building block in any single or multi-channel system for high-power RF Energy applications such as Materials processing, Food processing (heating, tempering, and pasteurization), Microwave-assisted chemistry, Plasma generation, Plasma surface treatment, Disinfection/Sterilization, Chemistry, Agriculture (pest and bacteria eradication) and Semiconductor RF generators.
