5.2.4 MICROWAVE SOURCES
Most long-range telecommunication systems employ microwave links requiring high
power transmitters, both terrestrial and satellite-based. These satellites are typically
equipped with 50–100 traveling wave tubes (TWTs) based on slow thermionic elec-
tron sources that cannot be switched at high speeds, and that do not satisfy a power
budget of tens of Watts. Present day TWTs are bulky and heavy. They consume valu-
able portions of a satellite’s volume/weight budget. Miniaturization would give sub-
stantial cost savings and aid the development of microsatellites. ...
