Abstract :
The development of a dual-mode traveling wave tube amplifier will be described. The device combines some of the most advanced design features devised to-date, to achieve what amounts to a breakthrough in rf performance. Relevant portions of the design approach will be discussed, as well as some of the obstacles encountered during: development. The tube incorporates shadow grid electron gun control, a SmCoPPM-focusing stack and a conduction-cooled, single-stage depressed collector.
