Wide bandwidth, high average power EIKs drive new radar concepts

Millimeter wave radar and communications capability can be significantly enhanced using improvements to the extended interaction klystron (EIK). This presentation describes the performance resulting from various programs undertaken at CPI (Communications & Power Industries) to increase the bandwidth and power capability of the EIK. This presentation describes the design simulation and corresponding performance results at various frequencies from 27 GHz to 220 GHz.
