Research abstract
By capitalizing the high power capability of the W-band series stacked pulsed IMPATT diodes, and a hybrid-coupled combiner, pulse power output greater than 50 watts can be achieved from a transmitter, more than twice the output power currently achieved from a single junction device, but small enough to be gimbal mounted. Injection locking the combiner to the pulsed frequency chirping IMPATT oscillator currently used in HARM development, the high output power will have the necessary pulse compression characteristics of the locking oscillator. The higher power output will enable the HARM to have longer range and more robust performance.
