Magnetron transmitters for tuning RF and microwave pulse waves in radar introduced by Diversified

Summary points:

• DTI introduces PowerMod solid-state magnetron transmitters delivering tunable pulse wave control for aerospace and defense radar systems.
• Outputs from 3 to 50 kilowatts peak RF power with precision control to within 0.1 percent and 50-nanosecond rise and fall times.
• Operates across the L to Ka bands, compatible with cathode, mod-anode, and grid pulsed modes for flexible radar integration.

BEDFORD, Mass. – Diversified Technologies Inc. in Bedford, Mass., is introducing the DTI PowerMod high-power solid-state RF and microwave magnetron transmitters that enable users to tune the pulse wave in aerospace and defense radar applications.

The high power solid-state magnetron transmitter features a Marx modulator for adapting the pulse shape to optimize the magnetron's performance and its delivery of 3-to-50-kilowatt peak RF power.

Capable of driving magnetrons across the L to Ka band, they can work with major transmitter technologies including cathode, mod-anode, and grid pulsed modes.

These RF and microwave pulse wave tuning devices provide precise RF control to within 0.1 percent and 50 nanoseconds rise/fall, adjustable from pulse-to-pulse, and support pulse repetition frequencies to 400 kHz.

Tell me more about magnetron transmitters ...

• Magnetron transmitters are high-power vacuum tubes that generate microwaves using crossed electric and magnetic fields to control electron flow past resonant cavities. A central cathode emits electrons, accelerated toward an anode with slots that induce microwave oscillations, forming electron bunches for efficient output at frequencies from 600 MHz to 95 GHz. They power radar systems, microwave ovens, and accelerators but operate only at fixed frequencies without amplification capability.

The DTI PowerMod high-power solid-state magnetron transmitters are a plug and play module with two multi-pin circular connectors and two BNC connections.

These devices measure 10 by 13 by 0 inches. 10" x 13" x 9". DTI PowerMod high-power solid-state magnetron transmitters cost $50,000 to $300,000, depending on radar system requirements.
