Abstract
In this paper, we propose a developing approach of 600 W super high frequency(SHF) traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) for communications. Also, we make a TWTA called the experimental-TWTA(ETWTA), which uses a cathode ripple reduction technique to improve RF performance. After implementation, we discuss, and compare it with some other TWTAs. Its RF performance is better than that of other TWTAs. Therefore, this methodology can be used to develop the high power SHF TWTA for communications.
