Timeline

1940

He was the leader of a group working on the cavity magnetron from April 1940 in north-west London.

The cavity magnetron was producing power of around 500W (E1188 version).

Eric Megaw changed the design, coating the cathode with oxides (E1189 version) and eight segments from six, to increase the power to 100 kW by September 1940, enough to detect submarines.

1941

The first trial on board an aircraft took place in March 1941.

The greatly-improved cavity magnetron would be valuable to the Tizard Mission.

1943

He was appointed an MBE in 1943.

He was born in Dublin.

Two of his younger brothers, Peter Megaw and Basil Megaw, attended the same grammar school as him in Belfast.
