200T26z5G40A
The Model 200T26z5G40A is a self-contained, forced air-cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave amplifier designed for applications where wide instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and moderate power output are required. A reliable TWT subsystem provides a conservative 200 W minimum at the amplifier output connector. Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency.
Overview
The amplifier’s front panel digital display shows forward and reflected output plus extensive system status information accessed through a series of menus via soft keys. Status indicators include power on, warm-up, standby, operate, faults, excess reflected power warning, and remote. Standard features include a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, 0dBm input, VSWR protection, gain control, forward and reflected RF output sample ports, auto sleep, plus monitoring of TWT helix current, cathode voltage, collector voltage, heater current, heater voltage, baseplate temperature, and cabinet temperature. The modular design of the power supply and RF components allows for easy access and repair. Use of a switching mode power supply results in significant weight reduction. The rated power is developed by efficient power combining the outputs from two 120 W (nominal) microwave tubes that are factory matched in gain and phase.
