SFD302 X-Band Pulse Magnetron

The SFD302 is a pulse magnetron manufactured by e2v Technologies. Compact X-band pulse magnetron at 9.375 GHz with 10 kW peak power for airborne and portable radar instruments.

Key ratings of the SFD302 include frequency 9.375 GHz, frequency band X-band, type Pulsed, peak power 10 kW, average power 50 W and pulse width 0.5 µs.

Typical applications are airborne navigation radar, portable ground radar, small vessel marine radar and drone and UAV radar. Notable features: 10 kW compact X-band design, lightweight for airborne use, long pulse life and standard X-band 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.
