Superconducting Microwave Pulse Amplifier.

Abstract

This report summarizes the preliminary research and development of a new and novel technique for very high power microwave pulse amplification. The technique is based on the principle of time compression and is most efficient when utilized in conjunction with superconducting (cryogenic) components. However, it has also been shown to be applicable as a purely ambiant temperature device. Very high power microwave pulses appear to be feasible with this technique. (Author)
