- RF generators allow limited pulsing frequencies and duty cycles.
- RFPP (RF10 c. 1990): Better than 1 kW, Pulse Periods ³ 2 ms (£ 500 Hz), External or internal control.
- RFPP (RF10S/PWT c. 1997): Better than 1.2 kW available, Periods ³ 2 ms (£ 500 kHz), 10-90% duty cycle. External or internal control, ~0.03 ms rise/fall time.
- Daihen (DRFS-10SB9 c. 1990): No pulsing was available.
- Function generator - RF amplifier pairs allow more pulse control, but are expensive.
- ENI A1000: ³ $30,000, 1kW, Periods ³ 2 RF periods (150 ns), any duty cycle, requires an external function generator. Large size.
