Results of the AFWL/LLNL SSVCO Experiments

Abstract

In cooperation with AFWL, we have conducted a series of tests of the SSVCO powered by the TEMPO Bleumlein. A matrix of anode--anode gaps and of anode--cathode gaps were tested. For three of the AA gaps, the performance would peak as the AK gap was varied. The RF power was measured with a single cluster antenna located in an anechoic chamber.
