Today's emerging Ka-band satellite communications (SATCOM) systems are designed to support the enormous commercial telecommunications market. These SATCOM systems require high power amplifiers for their earth terminals. The mm-wave amplifiers must be efficient and highly reliable, and provide sufficient power and gain in a small package.
The VKA2400 series mm-wave extended interaction klystrons (EIK) are designed for commercial SATCOM uplink service and meet the application's stringent performance and reliability demands at Ka-band frequencies. The klystrons design concept provides more efficiency than a standard klystron or helix traveling-wave tube and feature ...
