Gyrotrons VGA-80280 pages

CPI gyrotrons were the first commercially available high-power, long-pulse/CW, high-frequency devices for plasma
fusion experiments and other scientific and industrial applications. CPI-MPP provides an extensive line of gyrotrons that
cover frequencies from 28-140 GHz with power levels up to 1.3 MW.
The VGA-8028 was designed to provide up to 10 kW of millimeter wave power in industrial and scientific applications
where reliability, ease of operation, efficiency, and small size are particularly important. It has been successfully used
in ceramic sintering, cyclotron resonance ion sources, plasma applications, and special material heating applications.
For lower-power applications, the VGA-8028A is optimized for 3 kW operation.
An extensive line of microwave components for use with the gyrotron is also available from CPI. These include
waveguide arc detector, TE02 to TE01 mode converter, mode filter to maintain mode purity, directional coupler to
measure forward and reflected power, 90 degree waveguide bend, barrier vacuum window, and calorimetric load.
