LIFE TEST
The quality of all production is monitored by the random
selection of tubes which are then life-tested under Test
Conditions Oscillation 2. If the tube is to be operated under
conditions other than those specified herein, E2V Technologies
should be consulted to verify that the life of the magnetron will
not be impaired.

NOTES
1. With no anode input power.
For average values of pulse input power greater than 40 W
the heater voltage must be reduced within 3 seconds after
the application of HT according to the following schedule:
Vh = 0.08 (110 Pi) volts
where Pi = average input power in watts.
The magnetron heater must be protected against arcing by
the use of a minimum capacitance of 4000 pF shunted
across the heater directly at the input terminals; in some
cases a capacitance as high as 2 mF may be necessary
depending on the equipment design. For further details see
the Magnetron Preamble.
2. For ambient temperatures above 0 8C. For ambient
temperatures between 0 and 755 8C the cathode preheating time is 90 seconds.

3. The various parameters are related by the following

formula:
Pi = iapk x vapk x Du
where Pi = mean input power in watts
iapk = peak anode current in amperes
vapk = peak anode voltage in volts
and Du = duty cycle.
4. Defined as the steepest tangent to the leading edge of the
voltage pulse above 80% amplitude. Any capacitance in
the viewing system must not exceed 6.0 pF.
5. The maximum rate of rise of voltage for stable operation
depends upon detailed characteristics of the applied pulse
and the pulser design. The specified maximum rating
applies to typical hard tube pulsers. For minimum starting
jitter and optimum operation, the recommended rate of rise
of voltage for most line type pulsers is from 70 to 120 kV/
ms.
6. The anode temperature measured at the point indicated on
the outline drawing must be kept below the limit specified
by means of a suitable flow of air over the anode body and
waveguide attachment brackets which serve as cooling
fins.
7. Tolerance + 10%.
8. Other frequency ranges can be supplied on request.
9. With the magnetron operating into a VSWR of 1.15:1.
Pulses are defined as missing when the RF energy level is
less than 70% of the normal energy level in a 0.5%
frequency range. Missing pulses are expressed as a
percentage of the number of input pulses applied during
the period of observation after a period of 10 minutes
operation.
10. In addition to missing pulse count measurements, the tube
is checked for possible moding using a monitor diode.
#E2V Technologies
11. The impedance of the magnetron measured at the operating frequency when not oscillating will be such as to give a
VSWR of at least 8:1 with a minimum 16.5 to 22.5 mm
from the output flange towards the anode.
12. Measured with heater voltage of 6.3 V and no anode input
power, the heater current limits are 0.43 A minimum,
0.60 A maximum.
13. Design test only. The maximum frequency change with
anode temperature change (after warming) is
70.25 MHz/8C.

Outline Notes
HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARDS
1. Anode temperature measured at this point. Paint should be

removed from this point before temperature measurement
is made.
2. Reference plane B passes through the centres of the two
holes of the mounting plate as shown and is perpendicular
to reference plane A.
3. Reference plane C intersects plane B at the centre of the
mounting plate hole as shown and is mutually perpendicular to reference planes A and B.
4. With surface A resting on a flat surface plate, a feeler
gauge 0.51 mm thick and 3.18 mm wide will not enter more
than 3.18 mm at any point.
5. The axis of the heater lead protector will be within 58 of a
normal to reference plane C.
6. Surface A and interior surfaces of the waveguide will be
plated with 1.55 mg/cm2 of gold or 4.65 mg/cm2 of silver,
but will not be plated if the parts are made of monel or
equivalent corrosion resistant materials. All other metal
surfaces will be painted with heat resistant paint or
otherwise treated to prevent corrosion.
7. The clearance between the inside surface of the protector
and the 9.53 mm diameter cylindrical surface of the
standard single contact miniature bayonet lamp base
(B.S.52 (1952) Type BA9s/14) will not be less than
3.18 mm.
8. The position of the waveguide hole is not specified on this
drawing since tubes are tested and used with coupler UG40B/U (NATO S.N. 5985-99-083-0051).
9. The centre of this hole will lie within 0.102 mm of reference
plane C.
10. These holes will lie within 0.127 mm of the indicated
centres. A cylinder of 8.38 mm diameter and centred on
these holes will clear the side of the magnet.
11. Recommended direction of air flow.
12. The north seeking pole of the magnet will be adjacent to
the cathode sidearm.
E2V Technologies magnetrons are safe to handle and operate,

provided that the relevant precautions stated herein are
observed. E2V Technologies does not accept responsibility for
damage or injury resulting from the use of electronic devices it
produces. Equipment manufacturers and users must ensure
that adequate precautions are taken. Appropriate warning
labels and notices must be provided on equipments
incorporating E2V Technologies devices and in operating
manuals.
High Voltage
Equipment must be designed so that personnel cannot come
into contact with high voltage circuits. All high voltage circuits
and terminals must be enclosed and fail-safe interlock switches
must be fitted to disconnect the primary power supply and
discharge all high voltage capacitors and other stored charges
before allowing access. Interlock switches must not be
bypassed to allow operation with access doors open.
RF Radiation
Personnel must not be exposed to excessive RF radiation. All
RF connectors must be correctly fitted before operation so that
no leakage of RF energy can occur and the RF output must be
coupled efficiently to the load. It is particularly dangerous to
look into open waveguide or coaxial feeders while the device is
energised. Screening of the cathode sidearm of high power
magnetrons may be necessary.
X-Ray Radiation
High voltage magnetrons emit a significant intensity of X-rays
not only from the cathode sidearm but also from the output
waveguide. These rays can constitute a health hazard unless
adequate shielding for X-ray radiation is provided. This is a
characteristic of all magnetrons and the X-rays emitted
correspond to a voltage much higher than that of the anode.
Whilst E2V Technologies has taken care to ensure the accuracy of the information contained herein it accepts no responsibility for the consequences of any use
thereof and also reserves the right to change the specification of goods without notice. E2V Technologies accepts no liability beyond that set out in its standard
conditions of sale in respect of infringement of third party patents arising from the use of tubes or other devices in accordance with information contained herein.
