Abstract :
The University of Missouri-Columbia, in association with Alpha Omega Power Technologies and The Boeing Company, have developed a high power, high-pressure flowing liquid dielectric test switch designed to be used for future high power microwave applications. The switch has been designed to operate at high-pressure in order to overcome some of the problems associated with liquid-dielectric switch media. This paper discusses updates made to the test stand, some of the aspects of the total system used for testing the high-pressure switch and results obtained from some of the initial test runs of the system
