Field Emitter Array RF Amplifier Development Project Phase One, Cathode Technology Development

Abstract

MCNC has duplicated and improved upon test results documented in the Special Technical Report dated 17 JAN 94. Tables detailing the measured 1 GHz modulation of the field emitter array anode current are included, as is a printout of an oscilloscope screen displaying our best results. A net power gain at 1 GHz of +7.74 dB was observed with 161.9 micro A of modulated anode current at a DC bias current of 1.8 mA. Continued improvement is expected.
