A Variable Pulse Width, Voltage, and Repetition Frequency IGBT-based High Power Radio Frequency Source Driver Navy SBIR FY2013.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2013.2 Topic No.: N132-129 Topic Title: A Variable Pulse Width, Voltage, and Repetition Frequency IGBT-based High Power Radio Frequency Source Driver Proposal No.: N132-129-1157 Firm: Eagle Harbor Technologies, Inc. 119 W Denny Way Suite 210 Seattle, Washington 98119 Contact: Timothy Ziemba Phone: (206) 402-5241 Web Site: www.eagleharbortech.com Abstract: The United States Navy is interested in developing small vessel mounted and man-portable directed energy weapons. One key technology in this endeavor is the development of high power radio frequency (HPRF) sources. While much work is being done to advance the state of the art in HPRF sources, the drivers for these sources have not advanced as far. To address the U.S. Navy's need for HPRF source drivers for directed energy weapons, Eagle Harbor Technologies (EHT), Inc. is proposing to develop a HPRF source driver capable of meeting the Navy's requirements. The proposed driver is based on EHT's Integrated Power Module (IPM), which is an innovative, highly modular IGBT-based system designed as a high power solid-state RF tube replacement for current drive and heating applications within the fusion science community. Under the proposed Phase I SBIR, EHT will design, build and test, an IPM with an output transformer capable of variable output voltages (up to 50 kV) with adjustable pulse widths at adjustable and high repetition rates (>100 kHz). Benefits: The proposed high power radio frequency source driver is being developed for the U.S. Navy's application for small vessel and man-portable directed energy weapons. However, additional markets also exist for a wide range of applications relevant to defense, energy, materials science, medical applications and basic research. Return
