About the M1577
The M1577 is a pulse magnetron manufactured by e2v Technologies. Ku-band pulse magnetron at 16 GHz with 15 kW peak power for precision airborne and ground-based radar systems.
Key ratings of the M1577 include frequency 16.0 GHz, frequency band Ku-band, type Pulsed, peak power 15 kW, average power 75 W and pulse width 0.5 µs.
Typical applications are airborne targeting radar, ground-based surveillance, weather radar and fire control systems. Notable features: ku-band 16 GHz operation, compact lightweight design, low phase noise and 15 kW peak output.
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 M1577 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.
