Product details
The CPI K4C8 is a 3350W C-Band TouchPower GEN IV klystron power amplifier. It delivers 2.45 to 3.35 kW from the klystron and 2.15 to 2.88 kW minimum at the flange, depending on klystron, across 5.850–6.425 GHz (other ranges available).
The touchscreen adds fault logs, parameter trending and a scope screen, standard Ethernet with SNMP, and internal switch control that removes the need for external controllers. It slots into the same space as earlier GEN IV KPAs and runs on three-phase 380–415 VAC.
Order it as K4C8 TouchPower series; frequency range and channel options are specified when ordering. The GEN IV Klystron HPA Series comes in 4 listed models; compare them on the series page.
