The objective of this program is to develop a microwave oscillator capable of producing 200 kW of CW power at 60 GHz. A CW experimental tube, X-5, produced 100 kW of output power at 60 GHz. The experimental tube incorporated a thinner double-disc output window to improve window bandwidth, and some modifications to the drift tunnel and cavity coupling which were proven to be successful in earlier pulse tube tests. When the boiling problem in the waterload is solved, X-5 will produce even more output power.
