Traveling-Wave Tube (DTWT)
C-band Dielectric Traveling-Wave Tube (DTWT)
We have begun the development of a novel super-compact dielectric traveling-wave tube (DTWT). In the DTWT, a tiny electron beam produced by a small electron gun is injected inside a hollow dielectric waveguide where the beam amplifies a high-frequency signal traveling inside the waveguide. Terahertz Traveling-Tave Nanotube (TTN)
We also have begun the development of a novel super-compact terahertz traveling-wave nanotube (TTN) which combines vacuum tube technology with the emerging nanotube technology. In the TTN, a tiny electron beam produced by a micron-size single emitter is injected inside a hollow nanotube where the beam amplifies a terahertz signal traveling around the nanotube. The highly desirable features of the TTN make for an ultrahigh frequency traveling-wave tube that has the potential to revolutionize the microwave tube industry. The TTN will be fabricated using state-of-the-art solid state technology and will be a pioneering step towards combining vacuum tube technology with solid-state nanotechnology. Some of the applications for these exciting new devices include future high-resolution radar, satellite telecommunications systems, cellular communications, and ultrahigh-speed computers. The TTN will be the basis for a new generation of infrared sources capable of producing ultrahigh frequency radiation with high efficiency in an amazingly compact and lightweight package. |
