Magnetron vs crossed field amplifier-Difference between magnetron and crossed field amplifier
This page on Magnetron vs crossed field amplifier(CFA) describes difference between magnetron and crossed field amplifier.
| Magnetron | crossed field amplifier(CFA) |
|---|---|
| magnetron is used in communication equipment and radar transmitter as pulsed or CW oscillator to derive high power output | CFA is used in intermediate or final stage in high power radar systems. |
| Magnetron is an oscillator with single RF output connection. | crossed field amplifier is a microwave power amplifier with both RF input and output connections. |
| In magnetron, continuous interaction between RF field and beam of electrons take place over the entire length. | In crossed field amplifier, RF field remains stationary. |
| Magnetron does not have slow wave structure. | CFA has slow wave structure similar to TWT. Forward wave CFA uses helix while backward wave CFA use bar line. |
