Abstract

This paper describes development of solid-state microwave power test system (MPTS) operating over 2.3 to 2.6 GHz with the output power level of 100 W for industrial applications in material processing, and for designing of microwave power industrial equipment. The MPTS unit consists of four major parts: PLL synthesizer, high power solid-state amplifier, detector probes for return losses and leakage measurement and microcontroller. The MPTS system is able to operate in either single fixed-frequency regime, or in swept mode with self-tuning for minimum reflection of a heated load.
