The VTU-5790C pulsed- coupled cavity TWT covers 16.1 GHz to 16.7 GHz with 8 kW peak output power,
10 % duty cycle. This device has a non-intercepting grid pulsed and single stage depressed collector to achieve
46 dB gain.
Custom configurations are also available. These variations in the performance and configuration include: cooling
method (affects average power level),mechanical configuration, electrical and RF connections, multiple stage
depressed collector.
