Multi-beam inductive output tube (MB-IOT) named "Istron" is designed for using in UHV TV-transmitters. Its main advantage is a combination of high efficiency with reduced voltage.

type	Frequency range [MHz]	output power [kW]		Power gain [dB]
		phase locked oscillation	amplification
Istron – 1	470 – 810	60	30 + 3	24
Istron – 2	470 – 810	20 … 30	15 + 1,5	23

"Istron" has passed trials in the Italian Corporation “ITELCO” TV-transmitter and in the TV-equipment of АООТ "MART" (St. Petersburg, Russia).
