Cathode voltage is measured with respect to ground.
Heater, Collector, and Grid voltages are measured with respect to Cathode.
Currents measured at linear power output.
Collector voltage optimized for linear performance. Helix current will exceed max if TWT driven to saturation.

* Minimum harmonic separation applies to the minimum
specified power output at the indicated frequency.
** Prime power applies to the minimum linear power
output at the indicated frequency.
*** Spectral regrowth (QPSK modulation) measured at one
symbol rate shall be no greater than -26 dBc.
