High energy, high speed, high performance

Teledyne e2v offers a range of compact modulator systems based on our patented solid-state switching technology.

High-power solid-state modulators are designed for radar and linear accelerator applications. When combined with vacuum electronic devices such as magnetrons, they provide a versatile, pulsed microwave source that is suitable for a wide range of industrial, scientific and medical applications.

We have the full in-house capability to develop market-leading technology from conception and design through to manufacture. Thanks to our exacting engineering standards, every device can be trusted to deliver accurate and reliable performance.

The Technology

A Teledyne e2v modulator is a direct switching unit, designed to drive either our microwave tubes or those from other manufacturers.

The high-voltage devices provide a proven alternative to conventional “line and hard valve-type” modulator technology. Using innovative assemblies of solid state switches, together with compatible power supplies and energy storage units, provides a significant improvement in pulse shape and quality.

A flexible, compact control system offers the ability to remotely vary the pulse parameters on a pulse-to-pulse basis. These features make the units ideal for systems where precise energy control is essential.

Our MPT5838 and MPT5839 modulator systems are designed specifically for medical radiotherapy linear accelerator use. When combined with a Teledyne e2v magnetron they provide a reliable, high-energy, pulsed microwave source for electron acceleration.
