This paper describes the development of a G-band broadband continuous wave traveling wave tube for wireless communications. The device exhibits high performance in terms of saturation output power, gain, and bandwidth. By utilizing a suitable beam current and transmission ratio, as well as an optimized design and cooling system, high efficiency performance is achievable.
Development of a G-band broadband continuous wave (CW) traveling wave tube (TWT) for wireless communications is described in this paper. This device provides the saturation output power over 8 W and the saturation gain over 30.5 dB with a bandwidth of 27 GHz. The maximum output power is 16 W and the bandwidth of 10 W output power is 23 GHz. The 3 dB bandwidth is greater than 12.3% of f(c) (center frequency). The gain ripple is less than 10 dB in band. A pencil beam of 50 mA and 20 kV is used and a transmission ratio over 93% is realized. The intercept power of the beam is less than 70 W and the TWT is conduction cooled through mounting plate and air fan, which makes the device capable of operating in continuous wave mode. A Pierce's electron gun and periodic permanent magnets are employed. Chemical vapor deposition diamond disc is used in the input and output radio frequency (RF) windows to minimize the loss and voltage standing wave ratios of the traveling wave tube. Double stages deeply depressed collector is used for improving the total efficiency of the device, which can be over 5.5% in band. The weight of the device is 2.5 kg, and the packaged size is 330 mm x 70 mm x 70 mm.
