CV108 X-band magnetron

 

Size This magnetron measures 195x75x32mm overall.

The CV108 was produced as an attempt to make a high power X-band magnetron. It had a block with 12 slot resonators and managed up to 20% efficiency with a 150kW peak input. Large numbers were produced up to April 1944 in order to keep AIX and H2S radars functioning. It was replaced by the CV208 and CV209.
