The MG5241 Magnetron, previously used in GEN3 radar systems, has been discontinued. Users can now replace it with the GEN4 MG4010 Magnetron, which delivers superior performance and reliability for various radar applications. This compact and rugged magnetron operates at a fixed frequency of 9410 ± 30 MHz, offering a peak output power of 12.5 kW.
Cooling occurs through conduction and natural processes, ensuring stable and reliable operation under typical usage conditions. The MG4010 features an integral magnet, with an indirectly heated cathode. Its heater voltage is maintained at 6.3 V to ensure optimal performance. The magnetron produces very low levels of unwanted emissions, making it highly efficient and ideal for a wide range of systems.
Weighing approximately 250g, the MG4010 can be mounted in any position. It has a maximum anode voltage of 6.4 kV and an anode current peak of 6.0 A. The magnetron operates with a pulse duration of up to 2.5 µs and supports a duty cycle of 0.0025. It provides stable frequency operation, with minimal shift even under mechanical shock conditions.
For some radar systems, you may need an adapter plate (Model A) for proper installation. Contact us for more details on compatibility with your radar system.
