Product Overview
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General Description
The Advanced Energy Paramount MF 2 kW generator is a 360 kHz to 440 kHz
midfrequency generator designed to regulate on one of the following:
• Forward power
• Load power
• Voltage with an optional AE peak voltage sensor
The Paramount MF 2 kW generator provides up to 2000 W into a 50 Ω, nonreactive
load. The generator is capable of delivering 100% of its rated power into a 4.79:1
VSWR load, making it an ideal choice for applications with a fixed match.
The Paramount MF 2 kW generators incorporate Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS)
technology for control of the operating frequency. This technology can be useful
when the application requires that the selected generator operate into an impedance
mismatch. The frequency can be programmed to dither over a predetermined range to
minimize the load mismatch to the generator. The DDS operating parameters on each
generator are configured via the generator's serial communications interface and are
stored indefinitely in nonvolatile RAM.
The Paramount MF 2 kW generators are water and air cooled, 7" high, 19" rack-
mountable units. Front panels with numeric displays and six status LEDs provide
basic generator monitoring. Primary control is accomplished through the generator's
serial and user communications interfaces.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Operation Overview
The Paramount MF 2 kW generator efficiently creates sinusoidal voltage waveforms
by switching rectified DC power through a filter and an isolation transformer. A
directional coupler/detector samples the RF power signal and uses the signal to
control the switch waveforms and therefore, the output power. Depending upon the
method of regulation, either the forward or load power can be used as a control
