RF Amplifier

Ampegon designs and delivers customized RF amplifier systems based on gridded tubes, klystrons, gyrotrons or inductive output tubes (IOT).

Our specialty is handling RF power ratings of up to 2 megawatts and frequencies up to 200 MHz with gridded tubes, or several hundreds of kilowatts with klystrons or IOT’s at frequencies up to 1300 MHz. Familiar with the challenges of high power applications as well as of frequencies of several hundred MHz, we undertake studies, plant engineering and project assignments.

The application of special RF amplifiers for the acceleration of particles or plasma heating is a well known and established technology in our company.
