title = "Novel high-power Radio-Frequency sources for Ionospheric Heating",
abstract = "Development of Mobile Ionospheric Heating sources (MIHs) would allow investigators to conduct needed research at different latitudes without building permanent and costly installations. As part of an Air Force Multi-University Research Initiative (MURI), the University of Maryland is designing a prototype of a powerful Radio Frequency (RF) source utilizing Inductive Output Tube (IOT) technology operating in class-D with a mod-Anode controlled electron gun [1]. This technology was chosen because it has the potential to operate at efficiencies exceeding 90% [2].",
