GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The RFX 600 is a two-stage power generator using a Fetpower™modular power amplifier and a switch mode dc power supply for main power and control. The RFX is designed for 80% reflected power capability. It regulates output power using either forward power or dc bias of the load. Its features allow it to be used alone or in combination with other supplies (through common exciter mode) in such configurations as RF with RF bias, RF with dc bias, and dc with RF bias.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Power Output: 600 watts maximum into a 50 ohm load. Harmonic Distortion: All harmonics are more than 50dB below the fundamental. Noise, hum and ripple are down by 30dB or greater below the fundamental.

Frequency: 13.56MHz ± 0.005%

Output Impedance: 50 ohms

Output Power Regulation: ± 3% of power setting for any load VSWR variation from 1:1 to limits. 10:1 resistive within auto protection

Load Mismatch Tolerance: continuous operation into any load mismatch without failure.

Pulsed Operation: Frequency range from zero to 10KHz maximum. Rise and fall times are less than 2.0 microseconds. Pulsing input is CMOS 15V compatible. Unit is capable of simultaneous and independent RF amplitude control and pulse operation.

Protection: Automatic foldback occurs when voltage, current or dissipation exceeds preset limits. Unit capable of up to 400 watts reflected power mismatch without foldback. Unit is completely protected from hardware damage due to open outputs.

RF Power Control: 0 to 600 watts with front panel control or remote 0 to 5 volt command.

Maximum Power Limit: Adjustable limit from zero to maximum output prevents excessive output during remote operation. Front panel setscrew adjustment. Digital display. Setting may be observed on front panel.

Automatic Forward Power Setting: externally controlled. o to 600 watts internally or externally controlled.

Efficiency: Variable switch mode dc input combined with Class D Fetpower™ output provides a minimum 60% overall efficiency from 100 watts to 600 watts output into 50 ohms resistive.

Regulation: Forward power or dc bias of the load.

Input Power: 115 VAC + 10% or 230 VAC ± 10% single phase, 50/60Hz.

Dual Supply operation: unit may operate either as master or slave or independent mode by logic level selection through a user connector on the rear panel (common exciter- “CEX TOGGLE”) .

Remote Operation: A user connector (25-pin subminiature D-type) is provided on the rear panel to allow remote operation or computer interface.

Diagnostic Connector: Rear panel subminiature (IS-pin subminiature D-type) connector provides sufficient information to troubleshoot a problem to an internal module level without the need to open the cover.

Cooling: Forced air; maximum inlet ambient temperature is 40°C. Temperature monitors protect the unit from fan failure or airflow blockage.
