Abstract :
In this paper, DTI will describe the results of its efforts to develop compact, solid-state magnetron transmitters for C, K and Ka band. The transmitters operate at 1 MW, 50 kW, and 3 kW, and are suitable for transmitter upgrade programs and replacing obsolete vacuum tubes crowbars, and solid-state units..
