Helix Mini TWT 4.5 - 18GHz

The N10172 is a broadband helix travelling wave tube. It is capable of providing 100 W output power and operates over the frequency band 4.5 – 18 GHz. Saturation gain is typically 35 dB.

The TWT incorporates a dual stage collector, providing high overall efficiency.

The N10172 is small and lightweight. It has been designed to meet MIL-STD specifications for use in rugged environments.

This TWT is one out of a range of mini- and midi-types that have been designed by e2v technologies using the latest CAD methods to achieve optimised reliability and performance, whilst operating in the most demanding of environments.

Electronic Warfare
The ever increasing demands on combat forces requires reliable EW (Electronic Warfare) and ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) hardware to deceive, detect and destroy in-coming hostile threats. e2v manufactures a number of RF products and systems in support of force protection, and most notably supply the DASS (Defensive Aids Sub-System) RF Decoy used on the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft. Our broad range of RF components and systems combined with over 20 years of experience supplying EW hardware make e2v ideally suited to the rugged and compact requirements of modern ground based, naval and airborne EW and ECM equipment.
