DC (Direct-Current) Partial-Discharge/Environmental Test Screening of Space TWTs (Traveling Wave Tubes).

Abstract

Direct-current partial discharge/environmental tests are being conducted on traveling wave tubes (TWTs) designated for long-term space operation to screen out tubes with high-voltage defects. Two types of TWTs with different external high-voltage insulation are being examined: (1) TWTs with polymeric potting, and (2) TWTs with ceramic feedthroughs.
