SG 1024 Solid State Microwave Generator
Handling Warnings
The SG 1024 has two handles on the front panel to help
unpacking and handling operations: never use only the
handles to lift the equipment but support the weight with
an appropriate base on bottom!
The handles do not withstand the off-center weight of the
equipment ( kg 22.5= 49.5 lbs).
General Description
The SG1024 is a solid state generator able to provide up to
1000 W at the frequency of 2450 MHZ (2.45 GHz) and is
powered through a wide input AC/DC power supply with
input range from 180 to 250 Vac, including PFC module.
The output power can be adjusted continuously, from 2%
up to 100%, using an external analog signal from 0.2 to
10Vdc,orbyremotecontrolthrougheldbusinterfaceorby
manual commands (depending from equipment version: see
next table).
The generator offers the capability to adjust the output
frequency over a total range of +/- 50 MHz with respect the
nominal frequency of 2450 MHz, with step 1 MHz.
The SG1024 is built in a water cooled 19” wide rack, 2 HE
high, with a front panel including a graphic display: the rear

of the quick-coupling type.
The SG 1024 is offered in two versions:
- the “Display” version with front panel manual commands
and PLC interface to control by I/O: it carries also one USB
standard port, which allows to drive/read data from the unit
with a simple software (like our “Front Panel” software distri-
buted freely).
- the “Bus” version (vers. 1) which has an industrial
bus interface Powerlink or Modbus/TCP allowing
connection of multiple devices on the same bus.
