Richardson Electronics offers a variety of standard microwave heads for use with an assortment of power supplies. Magnetron heads from 300 to 2000 watts (2 kW) are available in both air- and water-cooled styles, and magnetron heads at or above 3000 watts (3 kW) are available in water-cooled versions only.

We are capable of custom designing complete magnetron heads or microwave generator systems to meet your needs and specifications.

*Must be used with the SM840E, CPU controlled power supply.

* Must be used with the SM1150, CPU controlled power supply.

The GEN6KW208/480 is a 6kW, 2.45GHz microwave generator system consisting of a generator head, power supply, and isolator. The generator head is packaged in a stainless steel cabinet and houses a water-cooled YJ1600 magnetron, launching section, filament transformer, and arc detection circuitry.

The power supply is a Spellman MG10 series switch-mode, low ripple supply featuring constant current control. A 25-pin, D-sub connector on the back of the supply provides a user interface to control the system. A 6.5kW isolator is supplied with the generator assembly to protect the magnetron from reflected energy. An N-type monitoring port on the water-load provides an r.f. measurement of reflected energy.

The GEN6KWCONTROLA/B is an optional control unit that interfaces with the power supply to control the generators output power. Two front panel potentiometers are provided to adjust the magnetrons anode voltage and anode current, which are displayed on two front panel meters.

The GEN6KW400Vxx ¹ is a 6kW, 2.45GHz microwave generator assembly consisting of a generator head, power supply, and isolator. The TM060 generator head is packaged in a stainless steel cabinet and houses a water-cooled YJ1600 magnetron, launching section, filament transformer, arc detector, and a reflected power measurement assembly.

The power supply is the SM1180 switch-mode, low ripple supply featuring constant current control. The SM1180 is operated by a CPU and uses a front panel interface to control and display the functions of the power supply and microwave generator head. A 6.5kW isolator (not shown in the picture above) is supplied with the generator assembly to protect the magnetron from reflected energy. The reverse power measurement assembly is connected to a monitoring port on the isolator's water-load. Reflected power information is relayed to the SM1180's control unit and displayed on the interface.

The system has been designed so that the microwave generator can be remotely installed with respect to the power supply. This separation allows for greater system flexibility and simplifies both installation and maintenance.
