Abstract:

It was necessary to use a WR34 waveguide for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) because the operating frequency would be 25.65 GHz, and the existing WR28 waveguide could not be used at this frequency. Because the WR34 is a bigger waveguide, it could potentially be flown on future missions such as a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) or other near-Earth mission.
