We specialise in the development, design and manufacture of high quality helix TWTs (Travelling Wave Tubes) to satisfy the specific requirements of our customers. We are market leaders in the supply of our rugged and compact designs to both the commercial and military markets.
Our range of helix TWT products covers commercial and military applications:
Satellite uplinks
Long-life compact designs are suitable for both static and mobile units
Available in X, Ku, DBS, and Ka bands
Powers up to 500W
ECM broadband devices
Incorporating Multiple Collectors
Proven at localised temperatures of over 250 degrees C
Withstands very high levels of shock and vibration
The product range includes multi-octave bandwidth (e.g. 4.5 to 18 GHz) tubes at average power levels of 100, 200, and 300W. Packaging variants include full protection, unpackaged and special versions configured for towed decoy use.
Radar
We have developed a unique technology that has been introduced to a Dual-Mode X-band helix TWT, providing both high Pulse Repetition Frequency operation with low noise under vibration and Continuous Waveform, and can be used in more conventional radar tubes in C and X band.
