Recent developments in low-noise mm-wave TWTA's
Abstract
Some fundamental problems encountered in extending existing technology for low-noise TWT amplifiers operating from 18 to 26.5 GHz to small high-gain low-noise amplifiers with an integral power supply for the 18 to 40 GHz band are reviewed. The solutions to the problems are discussed, along with the performance of the resultant component. The characteristics of upcoming millimeter-wave amplifiers are examined.
