Development of a W-band Serpentine Waveguide Amplifier based on a UV-LIGA Microfabricated Copper Circuit

Abstract

We are developing a 95 GHz, 200 W, wideband vacuum electronic amplifier based on a 20 kV, 120 mA electron beam. The serpentine circuit is fabricated by multilayer UV-LIGA using an embedded polymer monofilament, which produces an all-copper monolithic structure with beam tunnel. We also discuss extension of the technique to upper millimeter-wave circuits at 670 GHz.
