Abstract

Recent advances in the development of miniature high power radar sources are presented. The miniature radar sources convert mechanical energy into electrical energy by compressing either piezoelectric materials or magnetic flux. The results of experiments performed to reach 100 kW of converted power are presented and discussed. Estimates are also given indicating the maximum power that can be generated with such devices.
