Electron Technologies, Inc. Introduces Dual-Band
Millimeter Wave TWT Amplifier
TORRANCE, Calif., August 6, 2008 – L-3 Electron
Technologies, Inc. (L-3 ETI) announced
today the introduction of its model 8923H dual-band 300W
30 GHz / 175W 45 GHz Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) amplifier.
Designed for military SATCOM uplink applications, the
new TWT has a remarkably small footprint and weighs less
than four pounds.
“The model 8923H enables UAV, fly-away, Communications-On-The-Move
and other weight/volume constrained platforms to interface
with Wideband Global SATCOM and Advanced EHF satellites
with a single amplifier rather than two,” said
Alan Piring, L-3 ETI’s vice president of military
and telecom TWT products. “This important addition
to our product offering enhances our expanding family
of high-efficiency, high-power millimeter wave helix
TWTs for SATCOM uplink, radar, electronic countermeasures
and instrumentation applications.”
L-3 ETI’s model 8923H TWT operates over the 30
to 45.5 GHz frequency range, including the 33 to 36 GHz
radar band, and incorporates focus electrode modulation
to allow both CW and pulsed operation. This product introduction
complements L-3 ETI’s existing 8926HB 500W Ka-band
TWT (27.5 to 31 GHz) and 8925HP 200W Q-band TWT (43.5
to 45.5 GHz).
L-3 Electron Technologies, Inc. is a leading provider
of space-qualified TWT, EPC and TWTA products and electric
propulsion systems as well as high-performance TWTs for
surface and airborne satellite communications uplink,
radar, electronic warfare and instrumentation applications.
