DC (Direct-Current) partial-discharge-environmental screening of space TWTs (Traveling Wave Tubes)
Abstract
Direct-current partial discharge/environmental tests are being conducted on traveling wave tubes (TWTs) designated for long-term space operation to screen out tubes with high-voltage defects. Two types of TWTs with different external high-voltage insulation are being examined: (1) TWTs with polymeric potting, and (2) TWTs with ceramic feedthroughs.
