A compact, one-channel RF pulse compressor that does not require a high power 3-dB hybrid is described for producing high-power flat-top 100 ns wide RF pulses at 34.272 GHz, with peak power in the range of 100 MW. This pulse compressor, operating akin to SLED-II, is intended to multiply peak power by over 3:1 and compress in time by 5-6:1 600 ns output pulses produced by the Yale/Omega-P magnicon amplifier.
