Abstract
The authors describe the particular development of a low-power (5 watts at ~36 GHz) helix travelling-wave tube (TWT) for satellite use. In this respect, the TWT design was configured for typical space communication specifications such as low distortion characteristics, maximum efficiency, and high reliability. The main thrust of this paper, however, is related to the technological aspects which have made possible the fabrication and performanocfe this Ka-band TWT
