VKB2461

HIGH POWER mmW AMPLIFIER
95 GHz 1500 Watt Pulsed Amplifier
Model VKB2461
Model VKB2461 is a series of conduction cooled
pulsed Extended Interaction Klystrons used for
radar, instrumentation and scientific applications.
Frequencies are available from 93 GHz to
96 GHz typically producing 1500 Watts peak
power with a 1dB bandwidth of 280 MHz. This
high gain vacuum electron device is remarkably
compact, exceptional reliability and has a highly
stable output.
The VKB2461 series of EIKs may be integrated
with the CPI VPW3493 series of power supply/
modulators resulting in a compact selfcontained and highly reliable transmitter subsystem.
