  • Abstract
    L-3 Communications Electron Technologies Inc., (L-3 ETI), continues to push the envelope for space-downlink qualified mm-wave helix TWTs. We report results of high-power, wide bandwidth, and extreme environmental margin testing on the mm-wave family of helix TWTs from 22 GHz to 75 GHz.
