QKS1345 X-Band Pulse Magnetron

The QKS1345 is a pulse magnetron manufactured by e2v Technologies. X-band pulse magnetron at 9.37 GHz with 30 kW peak power for ground-based surveillance and coastal radar systems.

Key ratings of the QKS1345 include frequency 9.37 GHz, frequency band X-band, type Pulsed, peak power 30 kW, average power 150 W and pulse width 1.0 µs.

Typical applications are ground surveillance radar, coastal monitoring systems, port and harbor radar and air traffic control short-range. Notable features: 30 kW X-band peak power, long pulse life, high-reliability design and standard X-band waveguide 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 QKS1345 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.
