| Abstract: |
We examine the advantages of using photoconductive (PC) switches in the jitter-free linear mode of operation. We show that the jitter-free property of a linear-mode PC switch can be used to coherently add power in a free-space ultra-wideband radiation system. This approach allows PC switches to be operated at reasonable power levels where operation is very reliable. Abstract Number(s): B9605-4250-003 |
