  • Abstract
    This paper deals firstly with the C band TWT delivering 25 kWp, 1100 W average between 5.4 and 5.9 GHz . Two prototypes were delivered and integrated. The second topic of this paper is the X band TWT delivering 9 kWp, 600W average between 9.45 and 9.95 GHz. This tube has been qualified in 2007 .
