本文综述了NASA/JPL云卫星扩展交互作用速调管(EIK)的要求、设计、性能和为ESA/NASDA地球CARE计划以及NASA/JPL木星冰月轨道器(JIMO)任务提供的Ka波段扩展交互作用速调管的长寿命模型的发展。这些任务的关键使能技术是高功率、空间合格、94 GHz的EIK，这是CPI根据欧空局、喷气推进实验室和CSA的合同开发和制造的。两个飞行模型被交付给喷气推进实验室，该实验室负责仪器有效载荷。这款EIK是首款太空级高功率W波段功放。
This paper reviews the NASA/JPL CloudSat extended interaction klystron (EIK) requirements, design, performance, and development of a long life model for the ESA/NASDA EarthCARE program plus a Ka-band extended interaction klystron for the NASA/JPL Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) mission. The key enabling technology for these missions is a high-power, space-qualified, 94 GHz EIK, that has been developed and fabricated by CPI under contracts from ESA, JPL and CSA. Two flight models were delivered to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is responsible for the instrument payload. This EIK is the first space-qualified high-power W-band amplifier.
