Abstract

Various types of millimeter-wave radio systems are being developed for strong broadband service demands such as fixed wireless access, local multipoint distribution service, as well as satellite communications. In each system, the higher data rate transmission requires more powerful amplification devices. This paper describes the development of a Ka-band 100-W peak power millimeter-wave power module, traveling wave tube-based millimeter-wave amplification module, used for millimeter-wave fixed wireless access base stations and Ka-band satellite Internet terminals.
