Abstract :
Because of the power and duty cycle requirements, solid-state amplifiers are particularly suited to driving radio frequency quadrupole accelerators (RFQ). A space flight qualified UHF RF system designed for a 1 MeV RFQ is described. The specific application is the Beam Experiments Aboard a Rocket accelerator system (BEAR). The RF system borrows technology from solid-state radar transmitter designs
