Due to the high cost and complexity of RF heating systems, which typically require high power gyrotrons or klystrons, associated power supplies, wave guides and vacuum systems, they are rarely available for the small-scale validation experiments. The charter for the small scale Validation Platforms Experiment (VPE) community is to advance our level of knowledge in…
Read MoreNavy SBIR Phase I/II: Compact, Repetitive Pulsed Power Driver Design for Emerging High Power Radio Frequency Sources
The United States Navy is interested in developing small vessel mounted and man-portable directed energy weapons. One key technology in this endeavor is the development of high power radio frequency (HPRF) sources. While much work is being done to advance the state of the art in HPRF sources, the drivers for these sources have not…
