About the QKS1343
The QKS1343 is a pulse magnetron manufactured by e2v Technologies. X-band pulse magnetron at 9.37 GHz with 15 kW peak power for compact airborne and shipboard radar systems.
Key ratings of the QKS1343 include frequency 9.37 GHz, frequency band X-band, type Pulsed, peak power 15 kW, average power 60 W and pulse width 0.5 µs.
Typical applications are compact airborne radar, light shipboard navigation radar, weather avoidance radar and drone-mounted radar. Notable features: compact X-band design, 15 kW peak output, high-PRF operation and low average power dissipation.
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 QKS1343 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.
