Renovation, Operation, and Maintenance of the NRL (Naval Research Laboratory) Microwave and Millimeter Wave Tube Fabrication and Assembly Facility.

Abstract

The Tube Fabrication and Assembly Facility is operational, providing the Naval Research Laboratory with an in-house capability for the construction, modification, or repair of microwave tubes and associated components and devices. Technical information, data sheets, and specifications regarding performance characteristics of tubes/components fabricated in the Facility have been provided to the Naval Research Laboratory staff upon delivery of the items themselves. A manufacturer's catalog file was established to provide a convenient and consistent source of information during the design phase of a microwave tube of device. Original Facility equipment has been repaired, replaced, or refurbished as best as possible considering the age and condition of the equipment at the beginning of this contract. A vacuum firing and brazing system was acquired, and other processing and test equipments were designed and constructed.
