Abstract(in English) In this paper, we have discussed the possibility of microwave tubes as a RF to DC energy converter for the SPS (Solar Power Satellites) ground station, Usually, the microwave tubes are used as a microwave amplifier or oscilator. It was shown experimentally by using the conventional small power herix traveling-wave tube (TWT) that RF to DC energy conversion phenomenon was observed at the special operating condition of beam voltage. The DC output power of 7W was measured with the conversion efficiency of more than 40%, when microwave power of 17W was fed to the TWT input.
