Narda-MITEQ / MCL MT3200A Traveling Wave Tube Medium Power Amplifier Description

Functions

Amplifies radio frequency signals using traveling wave tube technology for medium power applications. Provides broadband amplification across multiple frequency ranges with high gain and linear response characteristics. Designed for integration into RF test systems, electronic warfare equipment, satellite communication uplinks, and radar applications requiring clean signal amplification with minimal distortion. Features remote control interfaces and protection circuits for automated operation in laboratory and field environments.

Platforms

Medium power traveling wave tube amplifier designed for satellite uplink applications across C-, X-, Ku-, and DBS-bands; rack-mounted in indoor telecom or broadcast facilities with integrated closed-loop forced air cooling; interfaces through RS232/RS485 control ports, diagnostic ports, and RF sample outputs; supports field-replaceable modules for easy maintenance and programmable alarms; used primarily in satellite communications for high power, stable RF amplification within ranges from approximately 5.85 GHz up to 18.4 GHz depending on band configuration.

Applications

Provides medium power RF amplification for satellite communication uplinks, radar transmitter chains, electronic warfare systems, and microwave test equipment requiring wide bandwidth linear amplification with high gain and low noise figure across C-band through Ku-band frequencies, typically delivering 200-500 watts CW power output for ground-based and mobile communication terminals.

Accessories

Traveling wave tube amplifier providing medium power amplification for satellite uplink, radar, and electronic warfare applications. Operates in microwave/millimeter-wave frequency bands with typical output power ranging from 100W to several kilowatts. Features high gain, wide bandwidth operation, and excellent phase linearity. Incorporates TWT with electron gun, RF input/output circuits, high-voltage power supply, and cooling system. Interfaces via standard RF connectors (Type N, SMA, or waveguide flanges) with external signal sources and antenna systems. Includes remote control capabilities through RS-232/RS-485/Ethernet interfaces for monitoring parameters including forward/reflected power, helix current, and fault conditions. Rack-mountable design with forced-air cooling.

Interfaces

Input: SMA, 50 Ohm; Output: Type N, 50 Ohm; Power: AC Connector, 3 pin IEC 320; Cooling: Fan cooled, Air inlet and exhaust vents.

Specifications
