Description

Westinghouse Jonuary 1, 1961 TUNABLE MAGNETRON TYPE 7794 The 7794 is a C band 5 watt CW magnetron. It is designed for AM modulated communications, telemetering and relay systems requiring high average power with good bandwidth. In pulse code modulation systems peak powers up to 10 watts are avgilable. In amplitude modulated systems one hundred percent modulation of a five watt carrier is permitted. With 100% modulation incidental FM is less than 10 megacycles. The rugged light weight design permits use on airborne systems where shock und vibration are severe. The 7794 uses a multivoned anode structure ond an oxide coated unipotential cathode. It contains a capacitive tuning element which can be adjusted by means of a differential screw to a desired frequency in the range 4200- 4400 Mc. The integral magnets are enclosed in steel shells which serve to shield the magnetron from stray magnetic field effects, The 7794 is also most satisfactory for laboratory use as its tuning system permits
