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. Click for more.

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. Click for more.
