Abstract
W-band high power amplifiers offer important and enabling opportunities in radar, directed energy and communications including SATCOM applications. In this study, W-band microwave power modules (MPMs) combining low power monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) driver amplifiers and Solid State Vacuum Device (SSVD™) traveling wave tube (TWT) high power amplifiers are employed to provide high power density at low cost and small size and weight. In this work, we have also included the development of the necessary integrated power conditioner, modulator, and supply to enable a complete W-band SSVD™ microwave power module.
