Description
The MG5424 Magnetron is a highly reliable, compact, and rugged fixed-frequency pulse magnetron designed for marine radar applications. It operates at an optimal frequency of 9410 + 30 MHz, delivering a typical peak output power of 25 kW and a mean output power of 18 W. With a lightweight design, the MG5424 is perfect for integration into marine radar systems, where high durability and efficiency are essential.
This magnetron features an indirectly heated cathode, with a recommended heater voltage of 6.3 V for peak performance. Its robust construction allows for seamless operation in marine environments, with a net weight of approximately 0.7 kg. The MG5424 also boasts a quick cathode pre-heating time of just 60 seconds, ensuring rapid readiness for use.
The MG5424 operates with a peak anode voltage of 8.0 kV and an anode current of 8.0 A, ensuring reliable pulse generation for radar systems. Its output is compatible with a no. 16 waveguide (22.86 x 10.16 mm internal), and it can be mounted in any position. The device features natural cooling and an integral magnet. Additionally, the magnetron has a minimal clearance requirement of 25 mm from magnetic materials for optimal operation.
This magnetron is designed to meet rigorous electrical and mechanical specifications and is tested to ensure long-term reliability in demanding marine applications.
