We all know the arguments about the merits of tubes vs transistors for
high power. An article I read says:
"Producing high levels of microwave power for transmit purposes has
often invited debate over whether solid-state or vacuum-tube devices
are better suited to the task. The MTA2000 series of microwave power
modules (MPMs) puts such arguments to rest"

When you read it, you discover this range of amplifiers combines a
solid state preamp with a travelling wave tube (TWT) power amp in the
same box. Not exactly earth an earth-shattering combination of
components.
I wonder if they they have been granted a patent for such ingenious
use of technology!
