Microwave capability

e2v is recognised and respected for pioneering new developments in microwave devices: specifically microwave radar components, microwave products and RF technology. Within the solid-state microwave and electronics operation, this respect continues as customers choose e2v’s products and engineering skills to meet ever-more demanding technological challenges. Today’s solid-state microwave and electronics operation provides a wide range of microwave and electronic components and sub-systems to markets including defence radar, marine radar, civil airborne radar, communications, medical industrial...

Microwave & RF sources Integrated microwave assemblies For optimum RF system performance, e2v integrate matched combinations of microwave modules and components into a single package. This integrated design approach offers the following advantages: e2v offers a range of compact modulator systems based around its patented solid-state switching technology. High-power pulsed systems are developed for radar and for linear accelerators used in industrial, scientific and medical applications. > ow-risk solutions due to an integrated L project team working on component design and sub-assembly integration...

Klystrons e2v UHF klystrons are still in use worldwide in analogue television transmitters and electron beam accelerators for high energy physics applications. Although now replaced in new transmitters by IOTs and the even higher-efficiency ESCIOT, e2v klystrons are still available for special order as spares to keep existing systems operational. Travelling Wave Tubes (TWTs) Inductive Output Tubes (IOTs) e2v has extensive expertise in the design and manufacture of high quality helix TWTs, producing the first glass tube devices in the 1950s before progressing to the production of metal/ceramic...

Microwave devices e2v utilises a broad spectrum of technologies to produce highly-integrated RF modules for key defence applications. A full range of components and modules designed and integrated by e2v includes: > Reference oscillators > Power amplifiers > Circulators > Limiters > Low noise amplifiers (LNAs) > Mixers > Local oscillators > Performance monitors > Filters > Pressure windows > Noise sources Microwave amplifiers Limiters and receiver protectors Amplification of microwave power is key to a number of microwave systems: pre-amplifiers for TWTs and GaN power amplifiers to low-noise...

Low noise amplifiers Gain in the first stage of the receive chain is vital for good overall system noise performance. e2v offers a number of commercial solutions for marine radar together with military high performance, custom solutions. Overall optimisation and lowest noise figure is achieved through integration of the amplifier with e2v’s receiver protectors and mixers to form a sub assembly. Typical LNA performance: e2v offers an extensive range of standard mixers covering RF frequencies up to 110GHz and IF frequencies to greater than 1GHz. Waveguide, coaxial, thin and thick film structures...
