Summary |
RF Power Sources are constructed using Solid-State Power Amplifier systems. This includes RF (500 Mhz - 900 W) combining technology, where four 80 kW towers are combined to provide a total power source of 300 kW. |
Scientific Breakthrough |
NSRRC integrates a planar balun to achieve push-pull operation of excellent quality RF power source. The integration of an RF power chip with a water-cooled base is applied to have superior heat dissipation and extended life of the power chip. Multi-port power combiners for in-phase operation at various power levels are also developed to have scale extensibility in various applications. |
Industrial Applicability |
The fully-solid-state RF power source is designed in CW mode which can satisfy various power application based on the single power unit. The high-quality and high-stability characteristics is especially suitable for electron beam acceleration. Other industrial applications such as aeronautical communication, plasma excitation, laser generation and microwave heating are also applicable. |
