Abstract
Flexible travelling wave tubes are now made available by TED and flexibility on the ground are analyzed here. In flight flexibility can be proposed in a near future at the advantage of the satellite systems. The output power range is 10W to 200W. The range of travelling wave tubes for space telecommunication has greatly increased. The total frequency range extends from 1.5 up to 32 GHz.
