Description
The MSF1425A X-Band Magnetron is designed for use in advanced X-band radar systems, offering high power and efficiency. With a frequency range of 9345 – 9405 MHz, this magnetron provides a peak output power of 10.5 kW, ensuring excellent radar signal quality for safe navigation. Whether in busy harbors or open waters, this magnetron maintains a stable and powerful radar signal to enhance vessel safety.
One of the standout features of the MSF1425A is its quick preheat time of just 60 seconds, enabling rapid system startup. The magnetron operates with a peak anode current range of 3.0 – 7.0 A and a pulse duration of 0.05 – 1.0 μs, delivering fast, accurate radar pulses. It also has a duty cycle of 0.001, ensuring efficient energy use without compromising performance.
The MSF1425A operates reliably under high temperatures, with an anode temperature of up to 100°C. The V.S.W.R. (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) at the output coupler is 1.5:1, maintaining the magnetron’s efficiency in various operational environments. Additionally, the peak anode voltage ranges from 5.4 kV to 6.0 kV, providing optimal output for effective radar functioning.
