The VPW3475 magnetron transmitter is developed as The transmitter cabinet contains the high power a fully integrated magnetron system operating up to supply, magnetron, solid state switch, and the high 400 kW peak power. This microwave transmitter uses a voltage tank assembly which includes the pulse trans- CPI coaxial magnetron as its RF output device. The former, energy storage high voltage , and of operation is magnetron dependent. Any filament and control system for local or CPI magnetron with RF power range up to 400 kW can remote operation.

CPI which is part of the CPI control system for monitoring is able to furnish a compact, user-friendly, microwave forward and reflected power. Depending on the options power source which is also cost effective. selected CPI can also provide RF isolators and servo-tuners for the magnetron if desired.
