ESTABLISHMENT OF MANUFACTURING METHODS FOR CROSSED-FIELD AMPLIFIERS AT P-, S- AND X-BANDS.
Abstract
Three tubes in a family of high power, high efficiency, broadband, injected-beam crossed-field amplifiers have been developed. These tubes are capable of over 1 kW CW output power in the frequency range of P-, S- and X-bands. Small quantities of each type have been production fabricated and submitted to extensive electrical and environmental tests. The basic theoretical analysis of the characteristics of this class of microwave tubes have been verified with the experimental data. Electrical, mechanical and procedure specifications were established. Data was collected on many tubes to establish the validity of the specifications. Cost reduction has been gained through the use of common construction methods and through the use of new manufacturing methods.
