Abstract:

Fourth Quarterly RD Status Technical report for the Field Emitter Array RF Amplifier Development Project - Phase I, Cathode Technology Development. Progress in research and development continues at all sites. Efforts at standardization and improvement of processing techniques for columnar gated emitters are producing good results. MCNCs program continues at full speed with the smooth transition of project leadership. RF testing has shown modulation of a 0.36 GHz carrier signal by a field emitter device fabricated at MCNC. An improved RF test system has been designed, constructed, and is in use. Testing of columnar devices proceeds on an aggressive schedule. Field emission, Cold cathode, RF Amplifier.
