The modulator on the other hand is contained in an oil-filled container for insulating
and cooling reasons. The modulator is mounted above the power supply on its own
compartment.
Next to the modulator, the corner cutter assembly is mounted and its output is
connected to the cathode terminal of the modulator.
The magnetron is mounted above the modulator shelf and the high voltage bushing
projects into the modulator compartment through a hole located on the magnetron
shelf. Under this hole, the wide band current transformer is mounted and its output
is terminated to a BNC connector located on the control panel.
The magnetron compartment provides the space for the assembly of all the
microwave components required by the system.
