High Frequency Integrated Vacuum Electronic (HiFIVE)

Abstract

The objective of the High Frequency Integrated Vacuum Electronics (HiFIVE) program is to develop and demonstrate new high-performance and low-cost technologies for implementing high-power millimeter-wave sources and components. This program is developing new semiconductor and micro-fabrication technologies to produce vacuum electronic high-power amplifiers for use in high-bandwidth, high-power transmitters. Innovations in design and fabrication are being pursued to enable precision etching, deposition, and pattern transfer techniques to produce resonant cavities, electrodes, and magnetics, and electron emitting cathodes for compact high-performance millimeter wave devices. These new technologies will eliminate the limitations associated with the conventional methods for assembly of high-power sources in this frequency range.
