A new 200 MHz powerful pulse triode for the output power amplifier of DTL RF system

Designed about 30 years ago the 200 MHz powerful pulse triode GI-54A has supplied Moscow Meson Factory DTL operation as a vacuum tube in the output power amplifier (PA). In connection with the worsening of the economic situation in Russia and the complexity of the manufacture of GI-54A, its production was ceased. Instead of GI-54A in CSC "SED-SPb" a more simple and cheap vacuum tube was designed with output RF power up to 3 MW in pulse, anode power dissipation up to 120 kW and a power gain of about 10. In the paper results of the design and testing of the new generator triode in the PA of the MMF DTL RF system are described.
