PRODUCT INFORMATION

Traveling wave tube has been widely used during the last thirty years due to its remarkable capabilities as a reliable, microwave power-amplifying device. The TWT is still the core element of many systems used in electronic warfare to space exploration to the relaying of home-video signals. The design and test engineers favor TWTs over solid state devices for many applications due to its unique combination of bandwidth, power output, and gain. The manufacture of the TWTs requires many critical processes such as high temperature brazing, precision welding, and vacuum sealing.
TWTA is an integrated unit having a TWT and a power supply (also called electronic power conditioner or EPC) packaged in a common enclosure. The TWTA is often used as a main or driver power amplifier in many microwave test and measurement, satellite and ground communications, and radar and electronic countermeasure (ECM) systems, among others. The TWTA is a complex module requiring various control/monitoring circuits, thermal protection, cooling mechanisms, and front panel displays.

The Company's main products are TWTs and TWTAs for instrumentation and general test system applications. These products cover frequency ranges of 1 to 40 GHz and have output powers from 1W to 70W. The tubes produced by the Company are consumed for internal production of its TWTAs or can be sold to other TWTA manufacturers as finished goods.
