What’s the Difference between TWTAs and SSPAs? (.PDF Download)

    April 14, 2015

    Amplifiers come in many shapes and sizes, especially as device technologies such as gallium nitride (GaN) have achieved high output levels in small packages. But in some cases, older technologies such as traveling-wave-tube amplifiers (TWTAs) are still...
