Abstract
The performance of high peak pulse power silicon double-drift IMPATT devices operated at medium pulse repetition frequency are discussed. Several devices were characterized and achieved more than 45-W peak pulse power with 10-percent duty cycle at 9.7 GHz. Conversion efficiencies in the order of 9.7-11.2 percent were observed. These results compare with previously reported 19-W peak power, 10-percent duty-cycle, and 9.5-percent efficiency.
