Modulator MPT5839 Series

The MPT5839 Series is a range of fully integrated, compact, direct switching, high voltage solid-state modulator systems. They are specifically designed to drive any of the e2v technologies range of linac magnetrons, and utilise e2v technologies’ patented AMM solid-state modular technology. The modulator, when combined with an e2v technologies linac magnetron, provides a reliable, high energy, pulsed microwave source from a prime power input. The system is constructed in two sub-assemblies: the Modulator Assembly, housing the high voltage switch, energy store and magnetron filament isolation transformer, and the High Voltage Power Supply and Control System. The assemblies are designed to operate during rotation through most orientations. For fixed operation the recommended orientations are shown in Figure 1. For further information, contact e2v.
