Abstract
Microwave vacuum tube amplifiers use either velocity or density modulation to establish an AC current in an electron beam which is subsequently converted to RF energy at the output of the device. VectorTM is a trajectory modulation amplifier.The VectorTM has the potential to revolutionize the RF amplifier market.
