 Inductive output tube

An Inductive Output Tube (IOT) is a type of vacuum tube that is primarily used in high-frequency applications, especially in the fields of television broadcasting and satellite communications. IOTs are designed to amplify radio frequency (RF) signals and are known for their high efficiency and ability to operate at microwave frequencies. Key characteristics of Inductive Output Tubes include: 1. **Construction**: IOTs typically have a cylindrical structure, with an electron gun that emits electrons towards a collector.
