ABSTRACT:
A source for generating energy in the microwave region to a load comprising a transmission line, a semiconductor switch connected between said transmission and said load, said switch being operable, in its open state, to sustain a voltage corresponding to the average maximum electric field physically sustainable by the switch and, in its closed state, to sustain the maximum current density J equal to Wd.sub.3, where W is the width of the switch and d.sub.3 its thickness to thereby supply maximum power to the load and maximum switching speed.
