The siniplified driver (SDR) traveling wave tube (TWT) is a linear beam tube that operates by creating a beam of high-velocity electrons that interacts with an input radio frequency (RF) signal and amplifies it. A contained circuit conditions the HF input signal to ensure the HF phase and ampiitudeof all tubes trackwlthln tight limits, which is critical to operation. This item is a microwave tube installed in the RF amplifier of theTransmltter Group of the ANISPY-1 radar array, a computer controlled passive electronically scanned system using four complementary antennas to provide 360 degree coverage which is a key component of the AEGIS Combat System. The Aegis Weapon system is a surface-to-air integrated weapons system, from detection to kill. It Is designed to defend the fleet against any airborne threat. Aegis equipped ships use hit-to-kill technology to Intercept and destroy short and medium range ballistic missiles. Additionally, Aegis equipped ships provide surveillance and tracking of Intercontinental ballistic missiles and work with other Ballistic Missile Defense Systems’ elements to provide advance warning forthe defense of the nation, deployed U.S. forces and allies. -
