Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this paper we report on progress in an ongoing program to develop microfabricated field-emitter arrays to meet the microwave requirements for the ARPA/NRL Vacuum Microelectronics Initiative administered by the NASA Lewis Research Center. The goal of the effort is to demonstrate 50 Watts of output power at 10 GHz with a Klystrode(R) amplifier tube.
