· J. Propul. Pow.; (United States)
The concept of millimeter and submillimeter wave electrothermal propulsion is considered. State-of-the-art radiation sources from 30-1000 GHz are examined to determine their applicability to electrothermal propulsion systems. The problem of energy conversion and power conditioning in this frequency range is also addressed. The potential advantage of utilizing power beaming with millimeter and submillimeter systems is examined. Finally, areas of future research and development are indicated. 69 references.
