Abstract :
This paper discusses a novel design for a 140MHz-1GHz broad-band resonant coaxial cavity high power amplifier system developed by Redstone Technical Test Center, ETM Electromatic, Inc. and BURLE Industries, Inc. Of particular interest are the three tunable cavities and the beam power tetrode that powers the high-power stage of the amplifier. Also discussed is the single broadband cavity used to tune the intermediate power stage of the amplifier
