Electron Devices Division (EDD) has developed an inductive output tube (IOT) with large instantaneous bandwidth for radar and communications applications. As in conventional IOTs, this wideband IOT (WBIOT) provides high efficiency, good linearity, and compact size through emission-gated modulation of the electron beam at the cathode surface. Increases in gain, bandwidth, and duty factor will be discussed through test results and simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
