I met with Chiping about a year ago to discuss this technology...It's
still very early in the game.
The key requirements for application to cellular networks include
* Greater than 13 dB peak to average ratio (100W avg, 2 KW peak output)
* Intermod distortion products more than 60 dB down
If memory serves, the tubes and their RF cavity form an integral unit.
