traveling-wave tube

Communications were accomplished through a 20-watt S-band transmitter using two traveling-wave tubes.

It belongs to the traveling-wave tube family.

A power amplifier (this can be a traveling-wave tube or a solid state amplifier)

He later recounted that "Rudy Kompfner invented the traveling-wave tube, but I discovered it."

His doctoral thesis research was on traveling-wave tubes under the tutelage of Karl R. Spangenberg.

Traveling-wave tubes (TWTs) are very good amplifiers and are even used in some communications satellites.

It incorporated dozens of Bell Labs innovations, including 3,600 solar cells for power and a new traveling-wave tube for generating the radio signals.

Some applications, such as inertial gyroscopes and traveling-wave tubes (TWTs), need to have constant field over a wide temperature range.

Some tubes, such as magnetrons, traveling-wave tubes, carcinotrons, and klystrons, combine magnetic and electrostatic effects.

The towed decoy has dual high power traveling-wave tubes (TWTs) to allow for enough power to protect large aircraft.

They were fitted with traveling-wave tube (TWT) active radar enhancement devices to make them look like a bigger aircraft on radar.

It had 14 active K band transponders powered by 47-watt traveling-wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs).

The last functioning traveling-wave tube amplifier aboard TDRS-1 failed in October 2009, rendering the spacecraft unusable for communications purposes.

The downlink signal is amplified by dual redundant 12-watt traveling-wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) mounted on the body under the dish.

In 1959 Bob Coulson established Traveling-wave tube and Microwave tube sections and they were producing ceramic hydrogen thyratrons as well.

The operation of the DA can perhaps be most easily understood when explained in terms of the traveling-wave tube amplifier (TWTA).

The transponder converted the frequency to 4 GHz, amplified the signals in a traveling-wave tube, and retransmitted them omnidirectionally via the adjacent array of larger box-shaped cavities.

The use in radar itself has dwindled to some extent, as more accurate signals have generally been needed and developers have moved to klystron and traveling-wave tube systems for these needs.

A traveling-wave tube (TWT) is a specialized vacuum tube that is used in electronics to amplify radio frequency (RF) signals in the microwave range.

CSIST was reported to had sought the release of the associated traveling-wave tube (TWT) transmitter of the Ka-band active radar seeker technology.

However, for transmitting, N011M uses PSEA technology in that a single Chelnok traveling-wave tube is used for EGSP-6A transmitter.

Each STT will be outfitted with multiple CPI Ku-band amplifiers that combine a high-efficiency helix traveling-wave tube with a compact, lightweight "outdoor" amplifier.

A CFA has lower gain and bandwidth than other microwave amplifier tubes (such as klystrons or traveling-wave tubes); but it is more efficient and capable of much higher output power.

In most cases, the impact generated a signal in the wave guides, but in six trucks, the traveling-wave tubes them-selves were illuminated first and put out a gigantic pulse on exactly the proper frequencies.

A TWTA consists of a traveling-wave tube coupled with its protection circuits (as in klystron) and regulated power supply electronic power conditioner (EPC), which may be supplied and integrated by a different manufacturer.
