Commercial & Industrial

e2v has over 60 years experience in the design, engineering and manufacture of specialised components and sub-systems for the most exacting of commercial & industrial markets, including:


The broadcast communications industry has long relied on e2v products: triodes and tetrodes for radio transmitters; Klystrons, IOTs and ESCIOTs as the power source behind digital and analogue UHF TV transmitters; Thyratrons as an essential component of the crowbar transmitter protection circuitry and e2v flyaway, truck based and fixed satcom amplifiers to ensure reliable uplink communications.

e2v's industrial machine imaging cameras and CMOS imaging solutions offer a comprehensive range of industrial imaging solutions for applications including flat screen inspection to automotive safety systems

A full range of radar systems for boats, harbours and small aircraft are supplied by manufacturers the world over incorporating e2v magnetrons and microwave receiver protection components.

For RF drying, and both induction and dielectric welding applications our gridded tubes are a reliable source of power.

e2v gridded tubes are also used for the excitation of industrial lasers, with thyratrons and spark gaps drivers for CO2 and Eximer lasers.

High power LINAC magnetrons help to keep our air and sea ports safe by providing the microwave energy required for effective cargo screening.

Our gas sensing technologies include electrochemical, pellistors, non-dispersive infra-red and MEMs and are incorporated in sensing instruments that protect workers in hazardous environments, from petrochemical plants to mining.

The Automotive industry also benefits; e2v sensor data acquisition ASICs, air quality sensors, microwave semiconductor diodes and Gunn diode Voltage Controlled Oscillators are incorporated in next generation automotive safety and security systems.

Fire, rescue and security services also rely on our Argus thermal imaging cameras to protect life and property.
