Abstract :
A new model of vacuum tube amplifier, designed to produce over 10 Watts at 263 GHz is in development at CPI Canada. This device uses CPI´s Extended Interaction Klystron technology, which has previously demonstrated good results from 17 to 220 GHz. With recent completion of a 264 GHz CW tunable oscillator, the amplifier development will extend the demonstrated envelope for EIKs to a frequency and power useful in DNP and other mm-wave applications.
