High power Amplifier using Vacuum electronics for Overmatch Capability (HAVOC)
Abstract
The High power Amplifier using Vacuum electronics for Overmatch Capability (HAVOC) program sought to develop compact Radio Frequency (RF) signal amplifiers for air, ground, and ship-based communications, sensing, and radar systems. HAVOC funded basic research in vacuum electronics to improve understanding of the various phenomena governing vacuum electronic amplifiers operating at mm-wave frequencies above 75 GHz. Focus areas included modeling and simulation techniques, advanced manufacturing methods, novel beam-wave interaction structures, high current density and long-life cathodes, and other relevant topics. Applied research efforts were funded in PE 0602716E, Project ELT-01.
