A Traveling-Wave Tube (TWT) is a specialized type of vacuum tube that is used to amplify radio frequency (RF) signals. It operates based on the interaction between an electron beam and a traveling electromagnetic wave within the tube. TWTs are widely used in applications that require high-frequency signal amplification, such as satellite communication, microwave transmission, and radar systems.
