24kV TWT Modulator
- CPE Traveling Wave Tube test stations provide a safe computer-controlled test environment for TWTs to perform focus, test, and burn-in operations.
- CPE TWT test stations designed with power supply accuracy and tube preservation in mind
- Internal supplies are voltage and current regulated to better than ±0.1% using optically-coupled A/D converters, providing low-noise and high-speed accuracy.
- TWT test stations are modular for easy future expansion and can accommodate from one to five collector supplies.
- Power supply modules with full metal enclosures provide the lowest possible ripple and EMI susceptibility.
Wide-Range Hall Effect Thruster PPU
CPE has developed wide-range multi-phase resonant converters that can deliver full power over a 5:1 output voltage range. This enables Hall thrusters to be operated with high thrust at low output voltages or high specific impulse at high operating voltages.
