Research abstract
Radar represents a strategically critical military application where microwave vacuum electronic (MVE) apmplifiers are relied upon for their supperior power handling characteristics. MVE amplifiers provdi esuperior performance capabilities forapplications requiring high power density. The objective of thsi ersearch project is to develop a high power klystron apmplifier with substantially reduced voltage for the same output power adn equal or better efficiency compared to commercially availabelKLAs.
