Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Innovative Broadband Microwave Devices
Abstract
The general scope of the work performed under this contract was quite broad and included both theoretical and experimental work related to the general problem of microwave and millimeter wave sources. The principal concepts which were of interest at the outset of the contract were the Two-Stream-Amplifier and the Cerenkov Maser. However, general theory and simulation of the Ubitron/Free- Electron Laser was also performed along with specific theoretical support for the Ubitron development program in the Vacuum Electronics Branch. In addition, a great deal of interest developed in the application of Field-Emission Arrays to RF source technology, and the experimental phase of the program shifted to encompass testing, design, and evaluation of several different approaches of this technology. The remainder of this report is devoted to a specific discussion of each phase of the program.
