High Power Microwave Multipactor Switch,Driver and Feasibility Study VDU-1073.

摘要

This is a progress report, covering the period from July to 1 October 1976, on the development of the VDU-10763, a single pole, single throw multipactor switch, being developed under Contract No. N00173-76-C-0294. The program also includes a feasibility study for a 50 KW, 50 per cent duty cycle multipactor switch which will operate from 8.2 to 12.4 GHz or one which will oeprate from 12.4 to 18 GHz. The devices being built are designed with flexibility in mind, so that circuit components can be interchanged to achieve desired power levels, bandwidths, operating frequencies etc. Initially under consideraiton are ridged waveguide and comb line structures.
