The paper presents the capability of THALES Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT) for broadband satellite applications in the Ku- and the Ka-band. In the last years on the communication market a significant increase of data transfer has been recognized. Based on this continuing trend the satellite infrastructure has to provide a flexible and broadband solution for the communication equipment. The RF amplifier has a key role in the definition of the performance. The Traveling Wave Tube technology is able to support the broadband characteristic. THALES provides a portfolio of TWTs which will cover the need of the payload manufacturers. THALES has an outstanding experience in developing and manufacturing Traveling Wave Tubes and can demonstrate an impressive in orbit heritage.
