CPI VA888

C-BAND KLYSTRONS
VA888 TROPOSCATTER
COMMUNICATIONS SERIES
The VA888 Klystrons Series are designed for use in
cost effective ground communications systems
which exploit the troposphere scattering effects at
microwave frequencies.
These light-weight, space-saving klystrons are CW
operation and tunable in the 4.4 to 5.0 GHz
frequency range.
