RFEL24-500 NXP RF Energy Lab Box
The RFEL24-500 RF energy lab box is a 2 x 250 W, fully integrated RF development
system. It is a powerful tool for exploring the benefits of solid-state RF energy.
Designed for both RF and non-RF engineers to test and prototype innovative solutions,
the RF energy lab box eliminates the need to invest in an extensive RF test bench.
OVERVIEW
The RF energy lab box uses the capabilities of two
RFEM24-250 modules for signal generation with frequency,
power and phase control and for monitoring output power,
reflected power, current and temperature. The RFEL24-500
with the PC-based GUI has extended features that, among
others, enable phase and frequency optimization.
