l rept. 21 Oct 71-31 Dec 72,FProud,J. M. , Jr.;McNeill,W. H. ;F30602-72-C-0068RADCTR-73-227(*radiofrequency generators, microwave equipment), performance(engineering), radiofrequency power, l band, modulators, signal generators, radiofrequency pulses*travatronsA program was conducted to investigate techniques associated with enhancing the peak power generating capabilities of the Travatron. Analyses aimed at optimizing power-to-size ratios of the device and determination of operating limits are reported. Various techniques for generation of high voltage pulses suitable for driving the Travatron are analyzed and tested. A breadboard model Travatron generating over 10 MW peak power in 10 ns pulses at 1.3 GHz is also described.
