About the CX1159G
The CX1159G is a thyratron manufactured by e2v Technologies / Teledyne. Deuterium-filled tetrode thyratron with low jitter and low anode delay drift, used as the pulse modulator switch tube in the Accuray CyberKnife M6 and Varian LE-series linear accelerator systems.
Key ratings of the CX1159G include tube type Deuterium-Filled Tetrode Thyratron, filling Deuterium, jitter Low, anode delay drift Low and mounting Flange, B5F socket (MA153).
Typical applications are accuray CyberKnife M6 pulse modulator, varian LE-series linear accelerators, high-PRF medical linac modulators and radiotherapy pulse power switching. Notable features: low-jitter deuterium tetrode design, used in the CyberKnife M6 modulator (confirm for your system), compatible with MA153 flange-mount socket and cathode-heater-fed reservoir for long life.
Thyratrons are gas-filled (hydrogen or deuterium) switch tubes that discharge high-voltage pulse-forming networks in microseconds. They are the modulator switch in medical linacs, radar transmitters, lasers and pulsed-power systems, driving magnetrons and klystrons.
