Principles and preliminary design for a microwave active pulse compressor using an electrically‐controlled ferroelectric switch are presented. The design of an 11.4 GHz, 500 MW pulse compressor with a pulse width of about 40 nsec and a compression ratio of 10 is described. It is planned to test this compressor using the Omega‐P/NRL X‐band magnicon.
