Tubes

EHF-band Traveling-wave Tubes
The models TH 3760 and TH 3971 traveling-wave tubes (TWT) are designed specifically for the military SATCOM market as well as emerging multimedia requirements in the 42.5 and 47.5 GHz band. The TH 3760 uses a helix delay line and conduction cooling while the TH 3971 utilizes a coupled cavity delay line and forced-air cooling. Designed for integration in ground transmitters handling satellite uplinks for military transmissions, the TH 3760 and TH 3971 generates 250 W of power, respectively, over the 43.5 to 45.5 GHz band.
