AN/TPQ-37 Transmitter Tube Improvements.

Abstract

The purpose of this program is to improve the performance and reliability of the AN/TPQ-37 transmitter tube. The task is to build and test two high power, PPM focused, grid pulsed Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT) that meet the requirements of Technical Guidelines MW-119B. The TWT will employ a M-type cathode for reduced temperature operation and extended life. Gain variations will be minimized by use of in-band loss techniques and weight will be reduced by using samarium cobalt magnets. (Author)
