Abstract :
Devices operating at frequencies above 100GHz have been an area of intense development recently within both the solid-state and vacuum electronics worlds. This talk will discuss some of the recent results in both electronic domains and considers salient features of some applications which are creating an opportunity for vacuum electronics to once again be an enabling technology for extending the available frequency space.
