Abstract :
The performance characteristics of pulsed TRAPATT amplifiers in X-band with microstrip RF circuits are described. The amplifiers utilize the second-harmonic extraction technique to produce output powers between 10 and 20 W with efficiencies larger than 10 percent and bandwidths of several hundred megahertz.
