AT HOMESTEAD

Klystrons, traveling wave tubes (TWTs) magnetrons, crossed-field amplifiers and gyrotrons are microwave tubes. Since the second world war they have been the sources of high‑power radiation for nearly every microwave radar, communication, and countermeasures system in the world... Klystrons are the RF power sources for a wide range of applications including satellite communications, radar, and linear accelerators where thousands may be required in studies to unlock secrets of the universe... Traveling Wave Tubes are the amplifiers of choice used in large quantities for satellite communication applications.
