I need to make a decision on an amplifier for radiated immunity testing in the 1-2 GHz range. The choices appear to be a new solid state amplifier ( I have not located a used one) or a used TWT amp. Is anyone using a TWT amplifier for radiated immunity testing above 1 GHz? Do I need to be concerned about protecting the tube from damage caused by excessive VSWR cause by, perhaps, chamber effects? Is there anything else I need to know about TWT amps (yeah, I know - throw it way if the tube dies)?
