Abstract :
Tapered-tube concentrators for Microwave Rocket and its low power test are described. A conical and an octagon tapered tube were developed using a ray tracing method to modify the beam power density. A beam power profile through the tapered-tube was measured at low power level using 94 GHz oscillator and compared with a simulation result.
