Radar is critical for today’s weather
forecasting especially for storms near
heavily populated areas. These radars
assist meteorologists by detecting
changes in local weather patterns. They
also offer awareness of oncoming
weather patterns at a great distance
that might affect the local area.
CPI is the world’s largest producer of
coaxial magnetrons, klystrons and
receiver protectors. With our experience
and product breadth, we can support
most new and existing weather radar
systems.
We are unique when compared to other
suppliers as we can deliver individual
microwave components or a complete
transmitter. Each transmitter provides a
wide range of output power options
along with custom user interfaces and
remote networking capability.
All CPI components and transmitters are
rigorously tested to ensure a long and
reliable life that minimizes down time
and maximizes customer satisfaction.
At Communications & Power Industries,
we provide high quality microwave
products supporting weather radar with
either klystron or magnetron based
technology.
