Product catalog summary
Overview: The VTA-6430A Series are high-efficiency 500W CW Coupled Cavity Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) designed for satellite communication amplifiers. They operate in the Ka-Band frequency range of 27.5 - 31.0 GHz with a 2 GHz instantaneous bandwidth. These TWTs are focused using periodic-permanent-magnets and feature waveguide input and output, with conduction cooling.
Custom Configurations: Custom configurations are available, allowing variations in mechanical design, electrical and RF connections, and cooling methods, which can affect the average power level.
Features:
  • 500 Watt Continuous Wave (CW) power output
  • Frequency range: 27.5 - 31.0 GHz
  • 2 GHz Instantaneous Bandwidth
  • PPM Focusing
  • Waveguide Input and Output (WG-28 compatible with UG-599/U)
  • Vertical or Horizontal Mounting Position
  • Weight: 10 lbs
  • Conduction Cooled
Typical Operating Parameters:
  • Filament Voltage: 6.2 - 6.4 VDC
  • Filament Current: 1.0 - 1.6 ADC (Surge: 5.0 ADC)
  • Focus Electrode Voltage: -6.3 to -100 VDC
  • Beam Voltage: 13.5 - 14.5 KVDC
  • Cathode Current: 350 mADC
  • Body Current: 6.0 mADC
  • Collector Voltage 1: 34.0 - 36.0% of ew
  • Collector Current 1: 100 mA
  • Collector Voltage 2: 11.5 - 13.5% of ew
  • Collector Current 2: 350 mA
  • Filament Warm-up Time: 3.0 Minutes
