DESCRIPTION
The A600 series of high power, linear broadband microwave amplifiers provide the user with proven reliable
instrumentation for a wide variety of test and system applications. Each amplifier features regulation of the
helix, filament and grid power supplies, thus providing stable operation and long life for the TWTs.
The TWT is fully protected against power supply malfunctions such as helix overcurrent, the power supply is
designed to incorporate depressed collector TWTs as manufactured by several suppliers, allowing for wide
flexibility in meeting your needs.
Optionally, the TWTAs can be supplied with complete input and output VSWR protection.
