Product catalog summary
Introduction
CPI Microwave Power Products offers a range of gyrotrons, which are high-power, long-pulse/continuous wave (CW), high-frequency devices used in plasma fusion experiments and various scientific and industrial applications. These gyrotrons cover frequencies from 28-140 GHz with power levels up to 1.3 MW.
Product Overview
The VGA-8028 gyrotron is designed to deliver up to 10 kW of millimeter wave power, emphasizing reliability, ease of operation, efficiency, and compact size. It is utilized in applications such as ceramic sintering, cyclotron resonance ion sources, plasma applications, and special material heating. For lower-power needs, the VGA-8028A model is optimized for 3 kW operation.
Microwave Components
CPI provides a comprehensive line of microwave components compatible with the gyrotron, including waveguide arc detectors, mode converters, mode filters, directional couplers, waveguide bends, vacuum windows, and calorimetric loads.

Gyrotrons VGA-8028-1

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.
