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].
