A comprehensive study of microwave vacuum electronic devices and
their current and future applications
While both vacuum and solid-state electronics continue to evolve
and provide unique solutions, emerging commercial and military
applications that call for higher power and higher frequencies to
accommodate massive volumes of transmitted data are the natural
domain of vacuum electronics technology. "Modern Microwave and
Millimeter-Wave Power Electronics" provides systems designers,
engineers, and researchers-especially those with primarily
solid-state training-with a thoroughly up-to-date survey of the
rich field of microwave vacuum electronic device (MVED)
technology.
This book familiarizes the R&D and academic communities with
the capabilities and limitations of MVED and highlights the
exciting scientific breakthroughs of the past decade that are
dramatically increasing the compactness, efficiency,
cost-effectiveness, and reliability of this entire class of
devices.
This comprehensive text explores a wide range of topics:
- Traveling-wave tubes, which form the backbone of satellite and
airborne communications, as well as of military electronic
countermeasures systems
- Microfabricated MVEDs and advanced electron beam sources
- Klystrons, gyro-amplifiers, and crossed-field devices
- "Virtual prototyping" of MVEDs via advanced 3-D computational
models
- High-Power Microwave (HPM) sources
- Next-generation microwave structures and circuits
- How to achieve linear amplification
- Advanced materials technologies for MVEDs
- A Web site appendix providing a step-by-step walk-through of a
typical MVED design processConcluding with an in-depth examination
of emerging applications and future possibilities for MVEDs,
"Modern Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Power Electronics" ensures
that systems designers and engineers understand and utilize the
significant potential of this mature, yet continually developing
technology.
