Description
Designed for high gain, high linearity VHF-TV equipment, Photonis Defense’s VHF
Commercial Tubes are easily circuited to a frequency required by your requirement.
The coaxial-terminal design of the tubes assures a high gain bandwidth product for
the full VHF-TV band as well as the added ability for operation in the TEM Mode.
Photonis Defense VHF Commercial tubes are sturdy, operate well in high temperatures
and offer minimized tube inductances. This makes it possible to use simple, economical,
broadband circuit techniques in applications requiring VHF operation. Besides
commercial VHF-TV service, Photonis’ VHF Commercial tubes are also well suited for
other applications such as; single side band, CW or pulsed RF, modulator services,
translator services and much more.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATIONPower Tube Cavities
For many years, Photonis Defense has been developing specialized circuitry
for power tubes, generally termed “cavities,” as a result of customer demand.
These cavities are complete RF circuits that are necessary to tune and operate a matching power tube.
Each cavity is designed to match a specific tube in order to produce a final high-power amplifier
stage for a specific frequency band and service. Each cavity is an essential part of the
installation and maintenance operations needed for a Photonis Defense Power Tube.
We highly recommend pairing one of our cavities with a recommended matching power tube and can
work with you to determine which power tube cavity your application requires.
