Telecommunication transmissions require high power linear amplifiers operating in C, X and Ku bands due to the necessity to manage a large amount of information. Helix TWT is the device adequate for this application since it can provide wide bandwidth and high power level at high frequencies. One of the major difficulties in the design of a wide band TWT relies in the phase velocity dispersion of the helix circuit because the gain across the band is strictly depending on it. For this reason the control of the helix dispersion characteristics has represented and still represents one of the more important techniques in broad band helix TWT design. To this purpose an anisotropic loading structure, consisting of "semi-metallic rods", has been designed and cold tested. The results are presented in this paper.

Electrodynamic parameters of complicated output RF systems of multiple-beam klystron are under research in this article. The gain-frequency characteristic was obtained, values of operating frequencies, loaded and unloaded Q-factors, R/Q values and interaction coefficients of the double-gap output cavity with matching system and output waveguide were calculated. Dependence of external Q-factor from coupling diaphragm proportions was investigated. The recommendations to improve the parameters of the output multiple-beam system were issued.

This paper presents a new method of noise reduction in magnetron using self-injection-locking loop. The self-injection-locked magnetron divides into two cases in accordance to filter type: waveguide cavity filter and DR filter. This self-injection-locked magnetron consists of the coupler, high-Q filter (DR filter or waveguide cavity filter), circulator, and a phase-shifter without external source. Experimental results show that the self-injection-locked magnetron using waveguide cavity filter and DR filter is improved by 11.1 dB and 12.6 dB compared to the noise level of free oscillation magnetron at the 1 MHz offset frequency.

In this paper, we present an empirical study of dynamic behavior of an electron source system which incorporates an individual CNT. We propose a representative circuit model that is simple yet particularly valuable for emission current control for each CNT emitter in an array to facilitate high throughput maskless lithography.

Downlink amplifiers on geostationary communications satellites are required to operate in harsh environments for extended mission lifetimes (of up to 20 years) with a challenging combination of performance parameters and ultra-high reliability. TWTAs were the only option for systems designers nearly 50 years ago at the birth of the space age that were capable of providing the required power/frequency product for communications links. This history is similar to that of many other applications (radar, ECM, etc.). More recent history, however, shows that satellite communications payload architecture continues to use TWTAs for the vast majority of downlink amplifier applications while many other types of systems have moved away from TWTAs into alternate amplifier types and/or architectures. This presentation will highlight many of the key differentiating capabilities of modern space qualified TWTAs that have enabled them to maintain and grow a competitive advantage versus solidstate amplifier in satellite communications payloads. These differences are worth noting by designers of all types of systems requiring microwave amplification.

A first-unit full-gain W-Band folded-waveguide TWT has been rebuilt and is scheduled for hot test. This light-weight integral pole piece TWT is expected to achieve high average power by utilizing multiple L-3 proprietary features: a PPM-type, folded-waveguide circuit that has close-proximity copper-block heat-sinks [1]; a broadband block-type RF window that demonstrated 1500 watts of average-power transmission with a 33% bandwidth match at Ka- band [1]; a tetrode gun that provides high-PRF modulation to diode-gun-quality electron beams [2] [3]; and voided iron parts that permit pole pieces with thicknesses that exceed an RF period to supply focusing fields with lambdaP/L values around 10 for 4-kilowatt beams [4].
