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 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 high-voltage switching unit designed to eliminate the complexities associated with impedance matching when driving microwave generating tubes.

The high-voltage devices provide a proven alternative to conventional line-type, hard-valve-type modulators and those that require pulse transformer technology. Using innovative assemblies of solid-state switches, together with compatible power supplies and energy storage units, they achieve a significant improvement in pulse shape and quality.

A flexible, compact control system allows pulse parameters to be changed on a pulse-to-pulse basis and enables system performance to be monitored remotely. These features make the units ideal for systems where precise energy control is essential and where efficient, remote servicing is a priority.

Our DS2 series modulator systems are designed to provide optimum drive characteristics for our range of magnetrons, allowing reliable integration into high-energy, pulsed microwave sources for medical, industrial and security applications.
