Abstract
In high-average-power, high-repetition modulator systems, component testing requires a suitable testbed to perform validation and lifetime tests. The author describes a circuit for testing high-average-power components. Design information is given to show how to build a testbed that will operate at an overall power gain, defined as the power the switches operate at divided by the input power, of 10 to 20. Circuit losses are analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of circuit are discussed.<>
