Additional information
I was PI of the EPSRC research project EP/E058868/1 on microwave pulse compression, supporting one researcher, one PhD student at Strathclyde and our IAP collaborators. This project funded the research in the paper. I supervised the Strathclyde researcher and PhD student to design, construct and measure the dispersion of the first 5-fold compressor. I conducted the first compression experiments at Strathclyde at the 100kW level. This 5-fold compressor was used in front of a frequency swept 600MW X-band backward wave oscillator at the IAP, and demonstrated a route to achieve the world’s highest peak power at X-band frequencies.
