Abstract
Recent advances in CFA technology have led to new versions of tubes which still operate in the same manner as the magnetron and early CFAs, but are capable of a greater range of performance and mode of operation. These advances are exemplified in the QKS1606 BW CFA which combines all of the recently developed features. The slow-wave circuit of the QKS1606 is a parallel transmission line consisting of 2 straps periodically loaded with 65 vanes. This tube does not employ a drift region. The insertion loss of the slow-wave structure is 1.6 dB.
