High Power (500kW) CW Magnetron for Microwave Heating

Abstract

In accordance with rapid increase of industrial microwave application on heating, more and more high power microwave sources are required. Among many microwave devices, magnetron is most advantageous in economical point of view. Responding to these requirements, a super high power magnetron with output power of 420kW in CW which will be the largest in the world at this time, objective power being 500kW, was developed. In this paper, the design principle, the construction and the scale of each parts are described. The measured characteristics of the developed device reveal satisfactory.
