VKQ2470

HIGH POWER mmW AMPLIFIER
35 GHz 3500 Watt Pulsed Amplifier
Model VKQ2470
Model VKQ2470 is a series of air cooled pulsed
Extended Interaction Klystrons used for radar,
instrumentation and scientific applications.
Frequencies are available from 31 GHz to
38 GHz typically producing 3500 Watts peak
power with a 1dB bandwidth of 250 MHz. This
high gain vacuum electron device is remarkably
compact, exceptional reliability and has a highly
stable output.
The VKQ2470 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.
