Traveling Wave Tube - N20180

The N20180 is an ultra-wideband helix travelling wave tube. It is capable of providing 160 W output power and operates over the frequency band 2.0 – 18 GHz. Saturation gain is typically 38 dB.

The TWT incorporates a dual stage collector, providing high overall efficiency. The design also includes convergent electron gun, PPM focusing and conduction cooling.

The N20180 is small and lightweight. It has been designed to meet MIL-STD specifications for use in rugged environments.

This TWT is one out of a range of mini and midi-types that have been designed by e2v technologies using the latest CAD methods to achieve optimised reliability and performance, whilst operating in the most demanding of environments.

Other devices in the range include: Multi-octave bandwidth, 3-stage and single stage collectors, low gain power booster variants and air-cooled versions.
