Electron Devices' facility in San Carlos, Ca is widely recognized as an industry leader in the design and manufacture of high power Pulsed and CW Helix and Ring Loop TWTs for Radar, ECM and Missile applications. These TWTs operate in the standard bands over the 2 to 18 GHz frequency spectrum and provide superior performance and reliability.  Electron Devices is a tube supplier for such programs as the ALQ-136, ALQ-161, ASPJ and SIRFIC ECM systems, the APS-147 Shipboard Helicopter Radar and the Patriot and AMRAAM missiles.

The Williamsport operation manufactures a line of Ring Bar tubes in UHF and L band with output powers up to 200 KW. These are used in long range array Radars such as the FPS-108 Cobra Dane system, the PARCS space surveillance Radar, U.S. and foreign shipboard surveillance Radars and a number of Airport surveillance Radars.  Specifications on High Powered TWTs.
