Abstract:

This paper reviews the relative ability of semiconductor devices, such as tunnel diodes, transistors, and varactor diodes, and vacuum tube amplifiers, such as triodes, klystrons, amplitrons, and traveling wave tubes, to generate signal power efficiency at frequencies of 1 to 10 kmc and power levels of 0.1 to 100 watts in communication satellite applications.
