Simulation and Experiment of a Ku-Band Gyro-TWT

Abstract: Design techniques and experimental results are presented on a Ku-band TE 11 mode gyro-traveling wave tube. The hot test of this amplifier gives more than 153-kW output power, 2.3-GHz bandwidth (14%), 41-dB saturated gain, and 20% efficiency driven by a 63 kV, 12-A electron beam with a pitch angle (v t v z ) of 1.2, and velocity spread of 5%. A linear polarized TE 11 mode input coupler is used to introduce the input power. The stability of the amplifier from oscillation, including both the operating TE 11 mode … Show more

“…1. TE ○ 11 gyro traveling wave tubes such as the one reported in [60][61][62] could be modified to produce variable polarization by having two input signals separately coupled to the two polarizations of the TE ○ 11 . A change of polarization between left and right could be achieved between rf pulses, the spacing of which is typically on the order of milliseconds.…”

“…In another development, there has been a growing interest in millimeter wave gyro-TWTs [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], ranging from the Ku-band [29], Ka-band [19,[21][22][23]28], Q-band [24,26], W-band [18,20,25,30,31] to as high as 250 GHz [27]. These activities will also be highlighted along with a W band gyro-TWT's role in a state-of-the-art space radar [32].…”
