DEVELOPMENT OF A MILLIMETER LOW-NOISE TRAVELING WAVE AMPLIFIER

Abstract

The current project status, as well as the development work occurring during the reporting period are detailed. The improvement in circuit and waveguide components toward reduced loss in preparation for tube No. 5 are described. This tube, assembled with a helix of .32 db/lambda g loss, provided the first observed over-all gain of 5 db at 80 gc. Circuit deterioration, from abnormal beam interception, prevented noise figure measurements.
