RUGGEDIZED MICROWAVE DUPLEXING TUBES PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MEASURES PROGRAM

Abstract

Efforts were continued on the establishment of a production program covering mass production of microwave duplexing tubes. The manufacture and testing of forty preproduction samples, and the preparation of facilities, equipment, specifications, and personnel for preproduction approval were continued. The overall yield was improved to 60%, and complete fabrication procedures and flow charts were prepared for use during the pilot run. A composite 2000 hour life test was completed on two tubes, indicating that cleanup rates established on single temperature life tests might be valid for composite temperature life tests. The feasibility to use an accelerated 350 C life test to predict accurate life expectancy at lower temperatures is suggested.
