250T8G18

250 W CW, 7.5 - 18 GHz

The Model 250T8G18 is a self-contained, forced air-cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain are required. A reliable TWT provides a conservative 250 W minimum at the amplifier output flange. Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency.

CW TWT Amplifier

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, 0 dBm input, VSWR protection, gain control, RF output sample port, auto sleep, plus monitoring of TWT helix current, cathode voltage, collector voltage, external video pulsing, heater current, heater voltage, baseplate temperature, and cabinet temperature.
