  • Abstract
    High efficiency indium transferred electron pulsed diodes have been shown to produce high peak powers simultaneously with moderately high mean power with DC to RF conversion efficiencies up to 22% at upper J-band frequencies. Devices have been combined in four-diode waveguide array circuits to produce powers of 40 W peak, 2 W mean simultaneously, and 64.5 W at lower duty cycle.
