Abstract :
There is currently a need for high-power, W-band amplifiers for a number of existing and planned millimeter-wave radar applications. In response to this need, a 10 kW average power, W-band (94 GHz) gyroklystron amplifier was designed and tested in a collaborative effort between the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Litton Electron Devices, Communications and Power Industries (CPI), and the University of Maryland.
