At present a new coaxial insert with a modified profile on the cathode side of the resonator is under test. A suppression or at least increase of the starting current for the excitation of the LF oscillations is expected. As a first step to increase the Gaussian content of the RF output beam a launcher with only a 3rd order azimuthal perturbation was fabricated. Tests at low power have already been performed and tests with the experimental pre-prototype gyrotron are in progress. The results are presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":254940,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129116717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, RF signal attenuation due to rainfall is very large in this band. A promising approach to solving this problem is to use an onboard phased array antenna to compensate for the attenuation in rain areas. We have been studying on a miniature traveling wave tube (mini-TWT) for an onboard active phased array antenna. It is necessary that we arrange radiation elements densely so as to achieve high gain of service area, and to suppress sidelobes. We developed a mini-TWT for its amplifier; the length of cross-sectional directions corresponded to the 1.5 wavelengths. This paper describes a concept of the satellite broadcasting in the 21-GHz band and the performance of the mini-TWT in the partial model of a mini-TWT array.","PeriodicalId":254940,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129276736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
