TSQA-1X8PF
TSQA-1X8PF is a precise coherent multi-channel RF power source. This RF generator offers 8 channels each with up to 5 W output power in the frequency range 1700 ... 9800 MHz. It is housed in 19 "with 3 U. Each channel features individual automatic level control ( ALC ). The internal signal source is capable of generating CW (continuous waves) as well as pulse signals. To minimize heat generation the voltage supply is matched to the desired output power level. The right and left sides are available for different application variants with HF outputs on the front, the right side and left side are available.

At a Glance
TSQA-1X8PF is a compact, high power multi source with 8 output channels suitable for the frequency range 1700 … 9800 MHz.
The TSQA-1X8PF offers an output power capability of up to 5 W per channel. Each channel has an ALC for precise output power stability over long periods. The TSQA-1X8PF is equipped with an internal CW RF signal source. A typical application of this system is to perform RF stress in HTOL (High Operating Lifetime testing) of RF components.
Optimized Power Consumption
The power consumption and efficiency are adapted to the required RF output power level in 3 power classes. Dependant on the chosen RF output power the supply voltages of the power amplifier stages is varied. This minimizes heat generation and cooling needs.
High Output-to Output Isolation
A mismatch of impedance at one or more outputs should not have any influence to the other outputs. The TSQA-1X8PF offers very high isolation of typical 85 dB between ports to avoid this effect.
High RF Level Precision
Each output channel provides a very precise RF output level with closed-loop level control (ALC), and virtually no visible steps. As a consequence, the symmetry between the 8 outputs as well as the long stability is guaranteed. Also, the control loop’s smooth characteristic guarantees avoidance of overshoot. The output level range is large to cover a big variety of application categories.
Harmonic Suppression
The RF energy should be concentrated in the fundamental. TSQA-1X8PF has an adaptive harmonic filter for effective suppression of harmonics.
Optional Pulse Modulator
With option pulse modulator installed the TSQA-1X8PF is able to generate CW and pulse modulated signals.
Input for External Generator
For feeding the multi power source with other signals as CW or pulsed signals, the device offers an RF input for the connection of external RF sources.
Flexible Control Interfaces
Physical remote interfaces: LAN or USB. TSQA-1X8PF is controllable via GUI (Graphic User Interface) without any additional effort of application software development and regardless of location. Alternatively, the system offers the control via an SCPI inspired ASCII string protocol for ATE (Automatic test Equipment) applications.
System self-monitoring
The system can run without human intervention during entire test periods of multiple months. It contains automatic self-checking like current consumption, module temperature and logging of errors.
