We develop and manufacture customized high-voltage laboratory power supplies and test systems for the production of travelling wave tubes (TWTs).
These are used in the GHz range to amplify small microwave signals. They are primarily installed in power output stages for data transmission required in satellite communications and in civil / military radar equipment, for example in airports, aircraft, missiles and ships.
Renowned international companies are among our customers.
