Microwave Tubes
MTI is currently working on several
projects which convey the best features
of both solid-state and vacuum tube
technologies. These devices will be
extremely efficient, compact,
lightweight, and will deliver both low
and high power electromagnetic radiation
in the 1-100 GHz frequency range.
Additionally, they will cost less to
produce than current devices on the
market.

Dielectric Traveling-Wave Tube (DTWT)
|
|
|
We have
developed 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.

Harmonic Amplifier (HARA)
|
|
|
We have
developed a harmonic amplifier which
also acts as a frequency multiplier.
This amplifier will be lightweight,
compact, and will not require a focusing
magnetic field. Once developed, it
should efficiently provide coherent
high-power microwave radiation suitable
for airborne and mobile applications, as
well as other commercial applications
where size, weight and efficiency are
critical. MTI is developing
HARA
amplifiers for operation in the Ka and W
frequency bands.
