Overview
The Model 176 TWT Pulse Amplifier has been designed specifically to operate pulsed traveling wave tubes in the 1 to 2 kW peak power range at frequencies up to 18 GHz. Particular emphasis has been placed on the generation of the output RF pulse shape without the use of RF switches. Pulse width control is with an external pulse.
The High Voltage Power Supplies are modular DC-DC converter designs. The Power supply design provides superior stability for optimum TWT phase noise and spurious performance.
