Magnetron

MagnetronsMagnetrons remain one of the lowest cost solutions for radio frequency power sources for applications such as Weather Radar, ILS and some seekers. L-3 Electron Devices is the only U.S. manufacturer of a complete line of Magnetrons from L through Ka band. The company offers both rising sun and vane and strap Magnetrons as well as a broad line of Coaxial Magnetrons.

Magnetron technology has continued to improve with the development of the injection-locked Magnetron which offers frequency coherency at a fraction of the cost of linear vacuum devices. L-3 Electron Devices' Magnetrons are used in Commercial and General Aviation weather Radars and fire control Radars for U.S. and foreign militaries.
