High power antennas are specially designed to direct source power for long range effects in fields such as communication, radar, space, and defense. For defense, specifically high power microwave (HPM) systems, power levels of 100s of MWs to GWs are expected. As power level increases, breakdown in the transmit antenna becomes a leading challenge. The combination of high power and short pulses create fields that often meet or surpass the air breakdown threshold. Minimizing a systems Size, Weight, and Power consumption (SWaP-c) to maximize mobility while maintaining high gain creates a challenging problem space. Recent work in antennas show promise in addressing the common challenges faced by the directed energy (DE) community, shifting the future of HPM antennas.

Thin film Barium Strontium Titanate (BaxSr1-xTiO3-henceforth BST) variable capacitor (varactor) tuning elements are key components for reconfigurable microwave circuits. This talk will introduce the thin film varactors and their demonstrated applications. The size, weight, and power (SWaP) savings using the chip scale tunable RF front end components is a game-changer for defense applications and key for the 5G/6G cellular communications.
