Description
100kW L-Band Magnetron Tube
100kW L-Band Magnetron Tube: a critical component for microwave systems. All units tuned individually to a specific frequency (896, 915, 922, or 929 MHz). Given that magnetron tubes periodically wear out and need replacing, we suggest either keeping back-up magnetrons in stock, or placing a bulk order to ensure your systems stay up and running. The spare parts and service team provides its customers with industry-leading replacement part turnaround times, as well as general product and technical support. Our dedicated team understands our responsibility to the customer. After a system installation, our work is only just beginning. Our service and spare parts team continues to grow and we’re always on standby to support your microwave system needs.
