Description

IFI Instruments T251-400 TWT Amplifier Repair and Calibration

The IFI T251-400 is a traveling-wave-tube (TWT) microwave power amplifier — ~400 W across a microwave band for EMC immunity testing and high-power RF applications. As a TWT amp, its behavior centers on the tube and its high-voltage supply, so faults concentrate there along with control and cooling — not the low-voltage power-supply faults its category label implies.

June Company repairs and calibrates the IFI T251-400 for EMC test labs and high-power RF teams.

Common IFI T251-400 problems we fix

Low or no RF output — TWT or its high-voltage supply degrading, the defining TWT-amp fault, diagnosed and repaired so it delivers rated power.
Line-regulation / output faults — power not holding, corrected.
Goes into fault/shutdown — HV-supply or protection faults, repaired.
Cooling faults — high-power TWT amps run hot; cooling service.
Control-interface faults — the tube/HV sequencing electronics, repaired.

FAQs

My T251-400 output dropped — repairable? Yes. We diagnose whether it’s the HV supply, control, or tube, repair the cause, and verify rated power and gain, with a NIST-traceable certificate.

Do you handle the high-voltage supply? Yes — the TWT HV supply is a core part of the repair.

Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
