C-BAND PHASED ARRAY CROSSED-FIELD AMPLIFIER DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The program has two main objectives. The first is to demonstrate the feasibility of an RF turn-on, RF turn-off, reentrant stream crossed-field amplifier. The reliability of RF turn-on has previously been demonstrated and during this reporting period, RF turn-off has been demonstrated with only dc voltages applied to the amplifier. The second objective of this program is to increase the output capability previously demonstrated by a factor of two. During this period a hot test vehicle has been successfully assembled and the matching transitions have been developed.
