Development of high power X-band semiconductor microwave switch for pulse compression systems of future linear colliders

We describe concepts for high power semiconductor rf switches, designed to handle signals at X-band with power level near 100 MW. We describe an abstract design methodology and derive a general scaling law for these switches. We also present a design and experimental work of a switch operating at th...
