Efficiency Enhancement in Megawatt Level Broadband Microwave Amplifiers.
Abstract
The report covers effort expended on a theoretical and experimental investigation of methods of improving the conversion efficiency of relatively broadband linear-beam amplifiers operating at approximately 1 Mw of peak power. A design was achieved using a 'short-stack' intense- approximately 1 Mw of peak power. A design was achieved using a 'short-stack' intense-interaction cloverleaf structure; a forward-fundamental, coupled-cavity circuit. Computer-aided calculations predicted 40% minimum efficiency over a 9% bandwidth with a midband efficiency greater than 60%.
