Abstract :
The successful performance results of an inductive output tube (IOT) operating at 1.3 GHz and 100 kW CW are summarized and compared with design requirements. The IOT system designs needed to insure reliable operation at this high power and frequency necessitated a new IOT design platform. The key platform design enhancements are also described.
