plural of traveling-wave tube Alternative form of travelling-wave tubes

plural of travelling-wave tube

(electronics) A type of vacuum tube which amplifies electromagnetic signals, where the electron gun fires down the tube with an unmodulated electron beam, that passes through an interaction array, where the EM-signal is fed, which interacts with the electron beam, bunching the electrons, and transferring power to the signal.
