SPECIFICATIONS

The Model 15T4G18A is a self contained, forced air cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave amplifier designed for applications where low harmonic content is required in sub-band ranges and where wide instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and moderate power output are required.

POWER (fundamental), CW, @ OUTPUT CONNECTOR
- Nominal.: 40 watts
- Minimum: 15 watts, 10 watts in low harmonic mode
- Linear @ 1dB Compression: 7 watts minimum
FLATNESS
- ±9 dB maximum, 4.2 - 18 GHz
- ±5dB maximum, 8.0 - 18 GHz
FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 4.2-18 GHz instantaneously or one of three selectable sub-bands in low harmonic mode
INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT: 1.0 milliwatt maximum
GAIN (at maximum setting): 41 dB minimum
GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range): 35 dB minimum
INPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.0:1 maximum
OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 typical

MISMATCH TOLERANCE: Output power foldback protection at reflected power exceeding 20 watts (10 watts in low harmonic mode). 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.

MODULATION CAPABILITY: Will faithfully reproduce AM, FM, or pulse modulation appearing on the input signal. AM peak envelope power limited to specified power.
