Analog response time is measured from step setpoint change to
90% change of the RF output voltage.
• RF rise time < 30 ms over full power range into a broadband
load
• RF fall time < 30 ms over full power range into a broadband
load
Serial interface response time is measured upon receipt of an AE
Bus command to 90% change of the output RF voltage.
• RF rise time < 25 ms over full power range into a broadband
load
• RF fall time < 25 ms over full power range into a broadband
load
- 50 dBc
- 30 dBc
50 W minimum between 2 MHz and 300 MHz
RF output is disabled if setpoint in power control mode is less than
5 W. RF output is disabled if setpoint in external voltage control
mode is less than 20 V. RF ON LED on the front panel remains on.
The rise and fall rate of the RF output can be programmed via the
serial Host interface. This function is enabled for RF ON and
setpoint up or down changes via the serial Host interface.
For safety reasons, an RF OFF command will not ramp down the
output. The rate can be defined in watts per second or absolute time
through the serial Host interface.
Watts per second mode can be set in 1 W increments.
Absolute time mode range in 1 ms increments:
• Minimum ramp time: 1 ms
• Maximum ramp time: 30000 ms
The ramp rate parameters are not allowed to change while a setpoint
ramp is currently in progress.
