The Model 2000TP8G18 is a self contained, forced air cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave amplifier designed for pulse applications at low to moderate duty factors where instantaneous bandwidth, reduced harmonics and high gain are required. A reliable TWT subsystem provides a conservative 2000 watts minimum peak RF pulse power at the amplifier output connector. Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency. -
POWER (fundamental), PEAK PULSE, @ OUTPUT CONNECTOR -
Nominal: 2500 watts -
Minimum: 2000 watts -
FLATNESS: ±8 dB maximum, equalized for ±3 dB maximum at rated power -
FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 7.5 – 18 GHz instantaneously -
INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT: 1.0 milliwatt maximum -
GAIN (at maximum setting): 63 dB minimum -
GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range): 35 dB minimum -
INPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 maximum -
OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 typical -
MISMATCH TOLERANCE: Output pulse width foldback protection at peak reflected power exceeding 1000 watts. Will operate without damage or oscillation with any magnitude and phase of source and load impedance. May oscillate with unshielded open due to coupling to input. Should not be tested with connector off. -
PULSE CAPABILITY -
Pulse Width: 0.07 – 30 microseconds. -
Pulse Rate (PRF): 100kHz maximum -
Duty Cycle: 4% maximum -
RF Rise and Fall: 30 ns max (10% to 90%) -
Delay: 300 ns maximum from pulse input to RF 90% -
Pulse Width Distortion: ±30 ns max (50% point of output pulse width compared to 50% points of input pulse width). -
Pulse Off Isolation: 80 dB minimum, 90 dB typical -
NOISE POWER DENSITY -
