Abstract :
L-3 Communications Electron Technologies, Inc. (L-3 ETI) continues its development of high efficiency traveling-wave tubes (TWTs) for space communications with the 2007-2008 development of a 200 W L-band TWT. This TWT will complete L-3 ETT´s TWT product line at low frequencies and cover important L-band applications such as GPS.
