Tokyo Keiki and CEL are introducing a new generation of 2.45 GHz solid-state power oscillators (SSPOTM) and solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) for high power microwave signal generation, realizing power levels up to 3 kW. Applications requiring high microwave power include semiconductor manufacturing plasma generation, chemical analysis, specialized medical surgery, medical thermotherapy and various other industrial and medical equipment.
SSPOs are available with output powers of 50, 100 and 200 W. Each includes a tunable phase-locked oscillator, driver amplifier, balanced output power amplifier and output RF isolator. Output power can be controlled from 1 W to the rated output power of the device. A 30 VDC power supply is required for biasing.
An SSPO can be used as a stand-alone microwave power generator or it can be cascaded with a higher power SSPA, available with output powers of 500 W, 1, 2 or 3 kW. Optional SSPA features include input protection, alarms and shut-off protection. Air cooling fans and, if required, water cooling are also included.
This new generation of products utilizes the latest semiconductor technology to provide many advantages over the traditionally used magnetrons. Advantages include 200 times longer lifespan, greater frequency stability and tunability, precise control of output power and lower power supply bias voltages.
