Research abstract
Vadum will conduct a set of coupled high-fidelity trade studies enabling system tradeoffs and design guidelines for optimum solid-state wide bandgap high power microwave (HPM) RF (radio frequency) PA (power amplifier) realization matched to narrowband (NB) or wideband (WB) HPM antennas. The design guidelines will maximize radiated power by deriving die-level and circuit-level impactors on power, bandwidth, efficiency, pulse characteristics, and thermal performance. Resulting design approaches will enhance warfighter spectrum dominance by populating the commercially neglected middle ground between traditional impulse-driven vacuum electronics based HPM and standard electronic warfare (EW).
