About the M1568BS
The M1568BS is a pulse magnetron manufactured by e2v Technologies. X-band pulse magnetron operating at 9.375 GHz with 25 kW peak power for marine and airborne radar applications.
Key ratings of the M1568BS include frequency 9.375 GHz, frequency band X-band, type Pulsed, peak power 25 kW, average power 125 W and pulse width 0.8 µs.
Typical applications are marine navigation radar, airborne weather radar, short-range surveillance radar and harbor traffic control. Notable features: 25 kW X-band peak power, high PRF up to 3000 Hz, compact envelope and long pulse life.
Pulse magnetrons deliver very high peak power in short pulses and are used in marine and air-traffic radar, weather radar and pulsed scientific systems. They are driven by a pulse modulator, typically switched by a hydrogen thyratron, so the magnetron and modulator switch tube are often replaced together during maintenance.
PartnerTubes supplies the M1568BS worldwide from Groningen, the Netherlands — availability, lead time and price are confirmed per enquiry. Our team can help with equivalent and cross-reference types, sockets and accessories, and supply programmes for OEM and maintenance customers. Interchangeability must always be confirmed for the specific equipment.
