Continuous-time modeling of a Traveling-Wave Tube amplifier

This paper deals with the modeling of a Traveling-Wave Tube (TWT) amplifier. The continuous-time modeling approach is presented and the model is used to capture the carrier memory effect of the TWT amplifier. Some processing on measurements are described and an assessment of the model under 2-tone signals is achieved for validation.
