An X- band Electronic Attenuator, Switch, and TR Tube

Abstract

An x-band attenuator and switch tube which can be controlled by the voltage on an electrode has been developed. The attenuation can be varied continuously over a limited range with a maximum as high as 40 db. The tube, the X7047, at the same time operates as a conventional TR tube. It has applications in a lobe-switching radar as an r-f AGC and as an r-f modulator.
