    This document discusses high power systems used across various frequency bands. It describes key sub-systems like the active device, power supply, and safety components. Different active devices are used depending on the frequency band, such as klystrons for microwave and gyrotrons for millimeter wave. Characteristics of common microwave power devices like klystrons, TWTs, and magnetrons are also outlined. The document provides schematics and diagrams to illustrate the internal structures and operating principles of klystrons, TWTs, linear CFAs, and solid state configurations.

    Microwave High Power System Characteristics

    a) A magnetron is an oscillator and as such has no


    gain nor bandwidth.
    b) Solid state devices and circuits are themselves
    small and light because a large number is
    required to achieve high RF power. Solid state
    transmitters tend to be large. Exceptions are
    active arrays.
    c) Gridded TWTs, often found in aircrafts, are
    smaller and lighter than conventional TWTs
    because the modulator for gridded tubes is
    simple and small
