Title :
High efficiency X-band space traveling-wave tube
Abstract :
An experimental traveling-wave tube designed at X-Band frequencies is introduced. The developmental effort has been directed toward the realization of a highly efficient device, which is both lightweight and rugged and is commensurate with space-type applications. Moderate basic interaction efficiency is substantially increased to high overall conversion efficiency by suitable implementation of a single-stage depressed collector.
