  • Abstract
    L-3 EDD has developed a pulsed mode WBand microwave power module (MPM) providing 100W RF power over 92 to 96 GHz. The MPM includes a serpentine waveguide PPM-focused TWT and a modular electronic power conditioner (EPC). A breadboard power supply was previously built and successfully tested with a W-Band TWT. The final power conditioner design is completing development for packaging with a TWT as an MPM.
