About the SFD329
The SFD329 is a pulse magnetron manufactured by e2v Technologies. X-band pulse magnetron at 9.4 GHz with 25 kW peak power, designed for naval surface search and navigation radar systems.
Key ratings of the SFD329 include frequency 9.3–9.5 GHz, frequency band X-band, type Pulsed, peak power 25 kW, pulse width 0.06–1.0 µs and PRF up to 3000 Hz.
Typical applications are naval surface search radar, warship navigation systems, coast guard vessels and commercial marine radar. Notable features: broad 9.3–9.5 GHz tunable range, 25 kW naval-grade peak power, 3000+ hour service life and vibration-rated for marine use.
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 SFD329 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.
