Description
Since their invention in the early 1940’s Photonis and its predecessors have been designing and manufacturing helix-type Traveling Wave Tubes for numerous defense applications. These helix-type traveling wave tubes are constructed using the industry standard of metal-ceramic and feature rare-earth periodic permanent magnets for power-free focusing.
Many of the Photonis Defense tubes are used for electronic countermeasures, radar applications, airborne military platforms, rack mount amplifiers, communications and SatCom systems. For these applications, Photonis Defense has designed their various Traveling Wave Tubes to be conduction cooled for reliable operation in high altitude and temperature environments.
Photonis Defense offers a variety of CW, Pulsed, Narrow and Wide Band TWTs that can be customized to meet specific application requirements. We also create custom tubes for your requirements.
