This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will involve the experimental study of a novel millimeter-wave source (MWS) that will provide short-wavelength radiation for numerous civilian and military applications. The MWS is based on novel synchronous interactions between a pencil electron beam and rotating wave fields. Our Phase I studies confirm that the MWS will offer order of magnitude improvements in the overall size and weight when compared to conventional millimeter-wave sources which will make these new devices less complex, more affordable, and readily available for a diversity of applications. Some of the applications for these devices include high-resolution radar, satellite telecommunications systems, power beaming, and electron cyclotron resonance heating of fusion plasmas. Also, due to the fact that the MWS does not require a focusing magnetic field, it should be suitable for airborne and mobile applications, as well as other commercial applications where size, weight, and efficiency are critical. Detailed experimental analysis of this concept is proposed during Phase II in order to evaluate key issues such as beam transport, maximum output power, efficiency and gain. Once successfully developed, the MWS will be the basis for a new generation of millimeter-wave sources capable of producing high-power ultrahigh frequency radiation with high efficiency in a very compact and lightweight package.

这个小型企业创新研究阶段II阶段项目将涉及一项新型毫米波源（MWS）的实验研究，该研究将为许多平民和军事应用提供短波辐射。 MWS基于铅笔电子束和旋转波场之间的新型同步相互作用。我们的第一阶段研究证实，与传统的毫米波源相比，MWS将提供整体尺寸和重量的数量级改善，这将使这些新设备变得不那么复杂，更实惠，并且容易适用于多样化的应用程序。这些设备的某些应用包括高分辨率雷达，卫星电信系统，功率光束和融合等离子体的电子回旋共振加热。同样，由于MWS不需要聚焦的磁场，因此它应该适用于机载和移动应用以及其他大小，重量和效率至关重要的商业应用。为了评估梁传输，最大输出功率，效率和增益等关键问题，对此概念进行了详细的实验分析。一旦成功开发，MWS将成为新一代毫米波源的基础，能够在非常紧凑且轻巧的包装中产生高功率超高频率辐射。
