Rivendell Technologies

Rivendell Technologies is in Deauville, France, this week for IPAC'26 — the world's premier particle accelerator conference. We're showing the accelerator community what Rivendell's modern magnetron technology can do: Frequency Tuning Range: 2 MHz Frequency Range: 896 MHz to 929 MHz  Phase Tuning Range: 0 to 359 deg 50 kw to 800 kW +  Phase Stability: +/- 2 deg Long-Pulse Capability  4 x 9A Outputs  35% Duty Cycle 33kV Magnetron technology has changed. The assumptions haven't. We're working to fix that. Great conversations so far with scientists and engineers who are rethinking what's possible. If you're at IPAC'26, come find us at booth 101! #IPAC26 #ParticleAccelerators #RFPower #RivendellTechnologies

Some people you meet and immediately think: "We need this person in the room." Dr. Jim Tranquilla is one of those people. Jim has spent 40+ years turning electromagnetic technology into real industrial outcomes — founding companies, earning patents, and building teams that delivered across mining, energy, and advanced manufacturing. The National Research Council named him one of Canada's Top 10 Researchers. The Canadian Academy of Engineering made him a Fellow. He's authored over 150 technical papers and raised $30M+ across his ventures. But what stands out most is how Jim thinks about the problem. He doesn't start with the technology — he starts with what needs to work at scale, in the field, under real conditions. That's the lens through which Rivendell was built. Rivendell Technologies was founded on a simple belief: industrial microwave systems should deploy like industrial infrastructure — controllable, practical, and economical, that is Jim's life's work. We're proud to announce that Jim has joined Rivendell Technologies as a Senior Technology Advisor, where he'll be instrumental in deploying our end-to-end industrial solutions. Welcome, Jim! #Microwavepower #IndustrialProcessing #MaterialsProcessing #RivendellTechnologies

Most high-power RF systems treat their combining networks as passive plumbing — signals go in, combined power comes out, and that's it. But what if the combiner itself could switch, stabilize, and protect? Our CTO, Mark Robertson, just published a new article showing how fast phase control transforms a conventional hybrid combiner into an adaptive power management tool. The measured results: -200 kW switched between output ports purely through phase — no mechanical switch in the RF path -Transitions in ~6 microseconds -Phase Power Smoothing (PPS) that actively suppresses source instability in real time This is the control layer behind Rivendell's Narya platform — making magnetron-based microwave systems controllable, protectable, and measurable at industrial scale.

Already operating a magnetron system, but want solid-state precision? Our NPI package helps industrial microwave operators achieve solid-state power, frequency, and phase control on their existing 50 kW, 75 kW, and 100 kW platforms. We help avoid the significant CapEx and long-term OpEx burden of a brand-new solid-state system. Results: - No full rip-and-replace. - No disruptive rebuild. - Extend the life of your magnetron tubes and reduce downtime with 3ms fault detection Just a smarter upgrade path that modernizes your line faster and more economically. #IndustrialTechnology #MicrowavePower #RFEngineering #ProcessInnovation

A Partnership that Reshapes the Future of Microwave Power! Rivendell Technologies and Applied Microwave Technology, Inc are excited to announce a signed partnership and the launch of the AxRT Series. A new co-developed high-power microwave, magnetron-based platform designed to scale industrial microwave processing with a practical pathway to broad adoption. This collaboration marks a major milestone in the adoption of industrial microwaves. Rivendell’s technology is built specifically to enable the electrification of industrial processes at scale and accelerate the widespread adoption of microwaves across the industrial realm. RT now integrates with AMTek’s proven manufacturing capabilities, product quality, and deep expertise in microwave equipment production. Together, the companies are delivering the AxRT Series.  An industrial platform purpose-built to overcome the traditional adoption hurdles of scale, deployment speed, and most importantly, cost.

"Step by step, ferociously." We are excited to announce that we’re launching a new Mitacs-supported research initiative with Carleton University (ESWL) and AGP Dynamic Solutions Inc. to advance microwave-assisted thermal treatment for water purification.  Why we’re doing this: The sector needs regeneration methods that are scalable, sustainable, and more energy-efficient than conventional high-temperature or chemical approaches.  This project is designed to generate the evidence that matters: Controlled lab work, high-quality characterization, and clear pathways to commercialization.  If you manage water treatment systems or handle spent carbon (GAC), we’d love to connect, especially if you have real operational constraints you'd like us to solve.

Rivendell Technologies is proud to be the first to demonstrate 200 kW of continuous power through a single waveguide system, combining magnetrons. Our system is built, proven, and ready to ship! This isn't just a benchmark — it's a shift in what's possible for high-power microwave applications across industries. To those building the future of energy, industrial processing, and defense: we’re ready to power it! #HighPowerMicrowaves #HPM #MicrowaveEngineering #Innovation

Great news to kick off the New Year, we are expanding our team! We’re excited to welcome Warren Lundy to Rivendell Technologies as our Principal Engineer for RF & Mechanical Systems! Warren brings extensive experience across RF and mechanical systems, as well as applicator design. He will play a key role as we continue to scale our technology, build more complex, high-power platforms, and advance into the applicator space. His hands-on approach and technical leadership align perfectly with how we build, test, and deploy systems. We’re looking forward to the impact he’ll have as we grow. Welcome to the family!

The Combining and Power Stability Breakthrough! Combining is the next step forward—and it lives or dies on frequency + phase control. For some applications, power stability is crucial. Narya-I efficiently combines two 100 kW L-Band magnetrons using off-the-shelf waveguide/transmitter components, with at least 99% combining efficiency. Narya-Is reduces power ripple on a standard magnetron transmitter from over 13kW down to 2kW. In this paper, authored by RT’s Chief Technology Officer Mark Robertson, he shows this directly with spectrum video comparisons. If you want to see the system in person, we host demos at our facility in Carleton Place, Ontario. Come check it out! #microwavetechnology #HPM #Highpower https://lnkd.in/g9ZxEYUy
