Abstract:
The program objective was to advance the state of the art of high power Ku-band amplifier tubes by increasing instantaneous bandwidth and raising the frequency of operation. A coupled cavity, solenoid focused, modulating anode controlled traveling-wave amplifier was designed and an experimental model was fabricated, tested, and delivered. Three hundred 300 watts minimum and up to 1170 watts of CW power output was measured over a 2 GHz bandwidth at Ku-band. The technical soundess was thus demonstrated with an overall efficiency of greater than 24 over a substantial portion of the band. Recommendations were made for improvements in the design to increase power output and consequently gain and efficiency over the lowest 300 MHz in the band. Author
