STUDY OF HIGH POWER TRANSMITTING TUBES ABOVE X-BAND

This report describes the study of high power transmitting tubes for satellite communications at frequencies above X-band. Detailed characteristics are given for coupled-cavity traveling-wave tubes designed for operation at the 15 to 16 Gc and 31 to 32.3 Gc frequency bands, at power levels of 10 kw...

Zusammenfassung:	This report describes the study of high power transmitting tubes for satellite communications at frequencies above X-band. Detailed characteristics are given for coupled-cavity traveling-wave tubes designed for operation at the 15 to 16 Gc and 31 to 32.3 Gc frequency bands, at power levels of 10 kw and 25 kw CW. A complete description of the procedures for studying the electrical and thermal design parameters is presented together with the particular assumptions and tradeoff considerations that led to the final designs. The electron gun and magnetic focusing system requirements are considered in detail. A reliability analysis and life test procedure are also included. Electrical and mechanical design details and operating characteristics are presented for the experimental tube, the 817H, which was operated with up to 8.7 kw CW output power at 15.5 Gc. (Author)
