The MAF1422B magnetron is expertly engineered for use in X-band radar systems, providing essential performance features for demanding applications. Operating within a fixed frequency range of 9380 to 9440 MHz, it delivers a stable and consistent signal output crucial for radar functionality. With a peak output power of 6kW, the MAF1422B ensures robust radar performance, helping to achieve precise target detection and reliability across various conditions.
The magnetron’s electrical characteristics are optimized for longevity and efficient operation. It requires a heater voltage between 6.0 to 6.6V and a current of 0.55A, with a preheat time of 60 seconds to prepare for peak functionality. The peak anode voltage ranges from 4.4 to 4.8kV, providing an additional layer of power stability. These specifications allow it to function optimally in environments where consistency and power output are key.
The MAF1422B’s absolute maximum ratings, such as an anode current range of 2.5 – 6.0A, a duty cycle of 0.001, and a pulse duration between 0.05 and 1.25 μs, set strict performance limits to protect the device from overload. Designed to handle up to 100°C anode temperature and a 1.5:1 VSWR at the output coupler, this magnetron is highly resilient. Ideal for use in radar applications requiring exact specifications and peak power, the MAF1422B is a dependable choice.
