Abstract

This article explores the history and diversity of this remarkable technology, with emphasis on advances in vacuum-electronic amplifiers, including the microwave power module (MPM), that have been enabled by the ongoing development of modeling and simulation tools. These physics-based codes, enabled by rapid advances in computational hardware, allow simulation-based design and optimization of complex vacuum-electronic circuits. The growth of satellite-based digital communications technology over the past decade has opened lucrative commercial opportunities for vacuum-electronic amplifiers. This exciting new area requires the efficient production of high-frequency power and the ability to handle spectrally efficient modulations within stringent packaging constraints at affordable cost.
