Abstract :
In this paper we report on our progress toward developing microfabricated field-emitter arrays to meet the microwave requirements for the ARPA/NRL Vacuum Microelectronics Initiative administrated by the NASA Lewis Research Center. The goal of the effort is to demonstrate 50 W output power at 10 GHz with a klystrode amplifier tube
