Microfabricated Millimeter-Wave High-Power Vacuum Electronic Amplifiers

Abstract

Utilizing a novel ultraviolet photolithography microfabrication technique involving embedded polymer monofilaments, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is demonstrating and developing millimeter-wave vacuum electronic traveling wave tube amplifiers at W- and G-band in the 10s to 100s of watts power range at several percent instantaneous bandwidth.
