Abstract. In this paper we consider the non-abelian T-duality (NATD) of a certain plane wave background, namely the Penrose limit of the Pilch-Warner solution. The newly obtained T-dual pp-wave metric and NS two-form are naturally more complicated from those in the original theory, because NATD procedure mixes the coordinates in a non-trivial way. We also derive the NAT-dual R-R sector by applying the Fourier-Mukai transform on the corresponding pp-wave R-R fluxes.
