The VTX-5783B pulsed-coupled cavity TWT covers 8.9 GHz to 9.4 GHz with 50 kW peak output power,
2.5 % duty cycle. This device has a non-intercepting grid pulsed and single stage depressed collector to achieve
48 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.
