2.3.4.1.3 Analog Status Circuits

•

Helix Current (Pin D).
The TWT helix current may be determined by monitoring the voltage in Pin D.
There is 2 mA of current for each volt measured.

•

High Voltage Monitor (Pin L).
The high voltage level may be determined by monitoring the voltage in Pin L.
This output is proportional to the high voltage (1V/1000 VDC).

•

Analog Signal Return (Pin N).
Common return.

•

TWT Temperature (Pin P).
The TWT’s collector temperature may be determined by monitoring the voltage
on Pin P and referring to the chart in Figure Chapter 2-5.
