4.3: Qualification of the 500W Ka band TWT

Abstract: Thales extends its offer of high power TWT's for satellite uplink applications with the TH4092 , a 500 W peak / 350 W CW TWT in the 27.5-30 & 30-31 GHz frequency ranges. The last phase of the development program was successfully completed. The prototype results show high efficiency and good linearity performances. Margin and qualification tests are nearly finished and the industrial means are in place to begin the production.Figure 1: Outline of TH4092 Design of 500W Ka band TWTTo ensure a high reliability, th… Show more

“…In 2010, a millimeter helix TWT used in settle up-link was designed by Thales. The operating band is 27.5-31GHz, operating voltage is 16.5kV and current is 200mA, peak output power reaches 500W, continuous wave output power reaches 350W, the whole efficiency is above 55% [4] . In China a 500W output power millimeter wave helix TWT was designed and simulated by BVERI, the operating voltage is 16.5kV and current is 200mA [5] .…”
