THE K-SERIESTURN KEY RF UNIT 100 MW/72 kW
ScandiNova's K500 is a turn-key Radio Frequency(RF) Unit. By combining ScandiNova's solid-state
pulsed power technology with high quality klystrons
from well-known manufacturers, a very compact, highperformance RF Unit has been created, providing up
to 100 MW RF peak power. The RF Unit is optimized
for a wide range of klystrons from Canon, CPI, Thales,Stellant, and others.
The K500 is fully equipped with Klystron, Solenoid,
klystron accessories and supporting systems, suchas Solenoid Power Supply, Ion Pump Power Supply,
RF Amplifier, internal cooling system and radiation
shielding. All interlocks and essential diagnostics are
fully integrated, and the ScandiCAT™ control system
offers a safe and easy-to-use means of controlling theRF Unit.

ScandiNova's K-series
contains a range of klystronbased RF units with highreliability and performance,
a compact design and low
energy consumption.
The RF units utilize
ScandiNova's uniquesolid-state pulsed power
technology, integrated withdifferent types of klystrons,
usually operating in the RF
peak power range 3-100 MW.
The RF units have extended
diagnostics and features,
and are easy to install andoperate. They contain few
consumables and require
minimal maintenance.

There are several alternatives and options available for
the RF Unit, e.g. different interfaces and RF components
as well as different levels of service and support
programmes.
