Abstract :
A 5 to 12 KMG, 10 to 40 watt CW, traveling-wave amplifier tube weighing about one pound including focusing magnet is described. This tube has been developed especially for space-flight application. In addition to the light weight and relatively high power output, the design features high efficiency, obtained by a two potential depressed collector, wide operating temperature range, extreme ruggedness and long life.
