Johansson, Karin Rathsman and Stephen Molloy Influence of the Droop and Ripple of Modulator onRebecca Klystron SeviourOutput June 2011 23 February 2012 I. Introduction An IOT is a beam driven vacuum electronic RF amplifier. This document represents a comparative overview of the Inductive Output Tube (IOT). Starting with an overview of the IOT, we progress to a comparative discussion of the IOT relative to other RF amplifiers, discussing the advantages and limitations within the frame work of the RF amplifier requirements for the ESS. A discussion on the current state of the art in IOTs is presented along with the status of research programmes to develop 352MHz and 704MHz IOT’s. II. Background The Inductive Output Tube (IOT) RF amplifier was first proposed by Haeff in 1938, but not really developed into a working technology until the 1980s. Although primarily developed for the television transmitters, IOTs have been, and currently are, used on a number of international high- powered particle accelerators, such as; Diamond, LANSCE, and CERN. This has created a precedence and expertise in their use for accelerator applications. IOTs are a modified form of conventional coaxial gridded tubes, similar to the tetrode, although modified towards a linear beam structure device, similar to a Klystron. This hybrid construct is sometimes described as a cross between a klystron and a triode, hence Eimacs trade name for IOTs, the Klystrode. A schematic of an IOT, taken from [1], is shown in Figure 1. -

Gan Or Gaas, TWT Or Klystron - Testing High Power Amplifiers for RADAR Signals Using Peak Power Meters
Application Note GaN or GaAs, TWT or Klystron - Testing High Power Amplifiers for RADAR Signals using Peak Power Meters Vitali Penso Applications Engineer, Boonton Electronics Abstract Measuring and characterizing pulsed RF signals used in radar applications present unique challenges. Unlike communication signals, pulsed radar signals are “on” for a short time followed by a long “off” period, during “on” time the system transmits anywhere from kilowatts to megawatts of power. The high power pulsing can stress the power amplifier (PA) in a number of ways both during the on/off transitions and during prolonged “on” periods. As new PA device technologies are introduced, latest one being GaN, the behavior of the amplifier needs to be thoroughly tested and evaluated. Given the time domain nature of the pulsed RF signal, the best way to observe the performance of the amplifier is through time domain signal analysis. This article explains why the peak power meter is a must have test instrument for characterizing the behavior of pulsed RF power amplifiers (PA) used in radar systems. Radar Power Amplifier Technology Overview Peak Power Meter for Pulsed RADAR Measurements Before we look at the peak power meter and its capabilities, let’s The most critical analysis of the pulsed RF signal takes place in the look at different technologies used in high power amplifiers (HPA) time domain. Since peak power meters measure, analyze and dis- for RADAR systems, particularly GaN on SiC, and why it has grabbed play the power envelope of a RF signal in the time domain, they the attention over the past decade. -

Custom Design of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits
CRAIG R. MOORE and JOHN E. PENN CUSTOM DESIGN OF MONOLITHIC MICROWAVE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC'S) have been designed at the Applied Physics Laboratory and fabricated at several gallium arsenide foundries since 1989. The design tools and methods for designing MMIC'S have evolved to the present use of integrated computer-aided engineering software with programmable design components. Software elements that can be customized create multilayer mask descriptions of components for transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, microstrip connections, and other structures to improve the quality and productivity of MMIC's designed at the Laboratory. The schematic, physical layout, and simulation models are integrated into a single software tool, eliminating much potential for error. Experience with various foundries and various MMIC design techniques have increased our ability to design at higher and higher frequencies with confidence in achieving first-time success. The design improvements have been accompanied by improvements in measurement techniques for higher frequencies using microwave probe stations. This article summarizes MMIC designs at the Laboratory over the past few years and the progress shown and lessons learned. COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING DESIGN OF MMIC'S Software computer-aided engineering tools from and custom electrical models.

May 2005 1 NOTE With its high-voltage and high-power, and high places, this transmitter is potentially lethal. Proper precautions must be taken to avoid electrical shock, RF exposure, and X-ray exposure. (See Section 22). Emergency Procedure: ELECTRIC SHOCK Neutralize power 1. De-energize the circuit by means of switch or circuit breaker or cut the line by an insulated cutter. 2. Safely remove the victim from contact with the energy source by using dry wood stick, plastic rope, leather belt, blanket or any other non-conductive materials. Call for help 1. Others can help you administer first aid 2. Others can call professional medical help and/or arrange transfer facilities Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) 1. Check victim's ABC A - airway: Clear and open airway by head tilt - chin lift maneuver B - breathing: Check and restore breathing by rescue breathing C- circulation: Check and restore circulation by external chest compression 2. If pulse is present, but not breathing, maintain one rescue breathing (mouth to mouth resuscitation) as long as necessary. 3. If pulse and breathing are absent, give external chest compressions (CPR). 4. If pulse and breathing are present, stop CPR, stabilize the victim. 5. Caution: Only properly trained personnel should administer CPR to avoid further harm to 2 the victim. Administer first aid for shock 1. Keep the victim lying down, warm and comfortable to maintain body heat until medical assistance arrive. -
