밀리미터파(Ka 밴드) 복합모드 탐색기용 고출력 펄스형 진행파관 증폭기(TWTA) 설계 및 제작 = Design and Fabrication of a High-Power Pulsed TWTA for Millimeter-Wave(Ka-Band) Multi-Mode Seeker

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA), which can be applied to the Ka-band millimeter-wave multi-mode seeker, consists of an high voltage power supply(HVPS), a grid modulator, a command and control, and an RF assembly. We designed a power supply that generates a −17.9 kV high voltage by synchronizing the pulse repetition frequency(PRF) and power supply switching frequency(i.e.
synchronization frequency), and a high-speed grid-switching modulator for RF pulse modulation. The TWTA, which is fabricated through miniaturization with a volume of 3.18 L, has high pulse switching characteristics of up to 18.5 ns. The maximum rise/fall time of the grid on/bias signal and peak power is more than 564.9 W. Moreover, an excellent spurious performance of −68.4 dBc or less was confirmed within the range of PRF and PRF/2.
