C- Band Coaxial Pulsed Magnetron
VMC3136
Features:
• 5.712 GHz
• Tunable +/- 10 MHz
• 2.50 MW peak output power
• 1.25 kW average output power
• Liquid cooled
Benefits:
• High power
• Long life
A magnetron is a high power microwave oscillator in
which the potential energy of an electron cloud near
the cathode is converted into RF energy in a series
of cavity resonators. The VMC3136 magnetron
delivers high peak and average RF power for use in
medical or industrial applications.
Applications:
• Industrial linear accelerator
• Medical linear accelerator
The VMC3136 will mount directly into new and
existing sockets and can be operated under various
pulse and input conditions to accommodate wide
ranging operating requirements. In addition to high
power, the VMC3136 provides excellent frequency
stability, low jitter and extremely long life.
