DATA S H E E T HIGH POWER TRAVELING WAVE TUBE FOR GROUND TERMINALS 6 GHz, 3 k W CW, PPM FOCUSING, HIGH POWER GAIN GENERAL DESCRIPTION NEC LD7215W is a PPM-focused traveling wave tube designed for use as final amplifier in the earth-to-satellite munications transmitter. This is capable of delivering an output power of 3 k W over the range of 5.85 to 6.65 GHz. It provides a high power gain of 42 d B at a rated output power. Furthermore, this is of rugged and reliable design offering long-life service. Features ™ High Power Gain The power gain is typically 42 d B minimum at 3 k W level. ™ Simple Cooling System The tube is forced-air-cooled, so that the cooling systems are simplified. ™ PPM Focusing The tube is PPM (Periodic Permanent Magnet) -focused, eliminating entirely the focusing power supplies and interlock circuits. ™ Rugged Construction The tube is designed to be rugged, therefore it is suitable for transportable systems. ™ Long Life and High Stability The tube employs an advanced impregnated cathode with a low operating temperature for long life. ™ Microdischarge Free The tube is carefully designed to be free from microdischarge in the electron gun for long term operation, therefore it is suitable for digital munication service. For safe use of microwave tubes, refer to NEC document “Safety instructions to all personnel handling electron tubes” (ET0048EJ∗V∗UM00) The information in this document is subject to change without notice.
