This TWT (Traveling Wave Tube) amplifier unit was manufactured by Thorn
EMI Electronics, originally for an EW system. The tube is a CPI (Varian)
or EEV type. The main power unit is a high reliability linear regulated
type.
Providing a typical output power of 200W CW from 7.5-18**GHz, and over 70dB of gain, this amplifier is useful in a variety of
commercial and hobbyist applications. The following are a few of the
possibilities:
DBS/satellite uplink
EMC testing
Materials testing
Component testing
Amateur (including EME)
The cosmetic condition of this unit is excellent. It is self-contained
and simple to operate. We will supply the unit with a 2m mains cable and
standard 1/2" hose connections. An external power isolation switch is
strongly recommended, as the unit is not fitted with one. Cooling
requirements are modest, enquire for
details. We have a large stock of WRD750 waveguide and other components
including bends, couplers, switches, horns, transitions, rotary joints and
terminations.
