2005 when there was a consensus to change title from traveling wave tube amplifier to traveling wave tube engineer bob did that but then also without any prior suggestion or comment took out the twta bits and made a new article that has remained unreferenced and nearly orphan.
Traveling wave tube amplifier wiki.
Unlike other vacuum tubes such as a klystron or a traveling wave tube twt the magnetron cannot function as an amplifier in order to increase the intensity of an applied microwave signal.
I propose we merge it back in as a section or two.
The twt belongs to a category of linear beam tubes such as the klystron in which the radio wave is amplified by absorbing power from a beam of electrons as it.
The operation of the da can perhaps be most easily understood when explained in terms of the traveling wave tube amplifier twta.
A traveling wave tube twt pronounced twit or traveling wave tube amplifier twta pronounced tweeta is a specialized vacuum tube that is used in electronics to amplify radio frequency rf signals in the microwave range.
Construction of travelling wave tube.
Travelling wave tube is a cylindrical structure which contains an electron gun from a cathode.
Belonging to the traveling wave tube family it is an oscillator with a wide electronic tuning range.
An rf signal is thus supplied to the section of.
An electron gun generates an electron beam that interacts with a slow wave.
Many microwave amplifiers are specially designed valve amplifiers such as the klystron gyrotron traveling wave tube and crossed field amplifier and these microwave valves provide much greater single device power output at microwave frequencies than solid state devices.
The twt belongs to a category of linear beam tubes such as the klystron in which the radio wave is amplified by absorbing power from a beam of electrons as it passes down the tube.
Their average output power capability falls between.
The magnetron serves solely as an oscillator generating a microwave signal from direct current electricity supplied to the vacuum tube.
Amplification is done through the prolonged interaction between an electron beam and radio frequency rf field.
The da consists of a pair of transmission lines with characteristic impedances of z 0 independently connecting the inputs and outputs of several active devices.
A backward wave oscillator bwo also called carcinotron a trade name for tubes manufactured by csf now thales or backward wave tube is a vacuum tube that is used to generate microwaves up to the terahertz range.
A travelling wave tube twt is a specialized vacuum tube that is used in electronics to amplify radio frequency rf signals in the microwave range.
