Extended Bandwidth VTS-5753B1 Coupled Cavity Traveling Wave Tube.

Abstract

The objective of this effort was to establish sufficient data on the VTS-5753 family of coupled cavity traveling wave tubes to enable evaluation of the tube's capabilities in a tactical, ECCM environment. This was accomplished by the development of an extended bandwidth tube capable of transmitting sophisticated radar waveforms that have low ECM susceptibility and extensive testing of the resultant tube. This project was highly successful in both respects. A tube of the VTS5753 family was developed, the VTS5753B1, that has a 200 MHz wider bandwidth than the previous version of the tube. Secondly, the testing program has supplied data invaluable to system designers/analysts that will allow them to incorporate tube nonlinearities into the overall system design. (Author)
