Abstract

The recirculating planar crossed-field amplifier (RPCFA) was designed, constructed, and tested at the University of Michigan. The RPCFA was driven by a number of RF sources ranging in frequency from 2.40 to 3.05 GHz and powers of 1 to 800 kW. Pulsed voltage was delivered to the cathode by the Michigan electron long beam accelerator with ceramic insulator (MELBA-C) which was configured to supply pu...
