Description
Product Overview
The Marconi EEV MG5241 is a high-stability X-Band Magnetron, extensively used in commercial and naval marine radar systems. Manufactured by EEV (English Electric Valve), now Teledyne e2v, this magnetron is a key component for high-power pulse generation. This Used & Working unit is a reliable replacement part for radar scanners requiring high peak power and precise frequency control, offering a cost-effective alternative for vessels maintaining older but robust radar infrastructure.
Key Features
- High-Power X-Band Output: Delivers a powerful 25kW peak power, ensuring superior long-range detection and signal clarity in adverse weather conditions.
- Precision Engineering: Designed by EEV, the industry leader in vacuum tube technology, known for low frequency-drift and long-term pulse stability.
- Marine Ruggedized: Specifically built to endure the mechanical shocks, high vibrations, and thermal fluctuations typical of mast-mounted radar scanners.
- Fixed Frequency Stability: Operates reliably at the 9410 MHz center frequency, allowing for consistent receiver tuning and sharper target definition.
- Integrated Cooling: Features a high-efficiency copper fin heatsink assembly designed for forced-air cooling systems.
Item Condition (Used - Working)
- Functional Status: Used Working. Pulled from a decommissioned, operational radar suite. Verified for stable heater resistance and pulse output.
- Physical State: Solid condition. The cooling fins are straight and clear of debris. The ceramic output window and electrical cathode leads are intact.
- Serviceability: While used, the unit retains significant emission capability. It has been stored in a dry, anti-static environment to maintain vacuum integrity.
- Note: As a used electronic tube, this is sold as a working replacement. It is highly recommended to check the radar's modulator settings (Pulse Width/PRF) before installation.
Package Includes
- 1 x Marconi EEV MG5241 Radar Magnetron
- Protective industrial-grade shock-absorbent packaging.
