traveling wave tube oscillator
1Traveling-wave tube — A traveling wave tube (TWT) is an electronic device used to amplify radio frequency signals to high power, usually in an electronic assembly known as a traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA).The bandwidth of a broadband TWT can be as high as three… …
2traveling-wave tube — An electron tube in which a stream of electrons interacts continuously or repeatedly with a guided electromagnetic wave, moving substantially in synchronism with it and in such a way that there is a net transfer of energy from the stream to the… …
3Vacuum tube — This article is about the electronic device. For experiments in an evacuated pipe, see free fall. For the transport system, see pneumatic tube. Modern vacuum tubes, mostly miniature style In electronics, a vacuum tube, electron tube (in North… …
4electron tube — an electronic device that consists, typically, of a sealed glass bulb containing two or more electrodes: used to generate, amplify, and rectify electric oscillations and alternating currents. Also called electronic tube. Cf. gas tube, vacuum tube …
5Backward wave oscillator — A backward wave oscillator (BWO), also called carcinotron (a trade name for tubes manufactured by CSF, now Thales) or backward wave tube, is a vacuum tube that is used to generate microwaves up to the terahertz range. It belongs to the traveling… …
6Crystal oscillator — A miniature 4 MHz quartz crystal enclosed in a hermetically sealed HC 49/US package, used as the resonator in a crystal oscillator. A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal …
7Microelectromechanical system oscillator — Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) oscillators are timing devices that generate highly stable reference frequencies. These reference frequencies are used to sequence electronic systems, manage data transfer, define radio frequencies, and… …
