Miniature injection-locked CW-magnetrons for portable and satellite communication systems

Abstract

Miniature injection-locked CW-magnetrons are a possible alternative to TWTs or klystrons in such systems where coherency and narrow bandwidth are needed. These magnetrons offer compact size, high efficiency and long life. In some applications miniature magnetrons have advantages in comparison with transistor amplifiers. Magnetron design contains several novel and patented designs. High performance quality of magnetron subblocks has been achieved by using of vacuum and microelectronic technologies.
