Abstract
A power-supply device and amplifier are joined by way of a mechanical/thermal interface to form a unit. Electrical connections between the power-supply device and the amplifier chamber are run within this shared unit. A shared electrical interface is provided for external control- and supply signals, respectively.
Claims4
An arrangement for driving a traveling-wave tube, comprising:
- a power-supply device for use with the traveling-wave tube;
- a first housing for accommodating the power-supply device;
- an amplifier for providing microwave signals and including:
- a plurality of electrical connections with the power-supply device, and
- a plurality of microwave subassemblies, wherein said subassemblies include a pre-amplifier, a linearizer stage and an output amplifier;
- a second housing for accommodating the amplifier;
- a mechanical/thermal interface through which the first housing and the second housing are firmly joined to form a unit and through which the plurality of electrical connections run;
- at least one shared electrical interface for respectively providing external control signals and supply signals between the power-supply device and the amplifier;
- and
- a control-signal and supply-voltage conditioning unit for the amplifier, the control-signal and supply-voltage conditioning unit being arranged separately from the plurality of microwave subassemblies in the second housing.
