Synchronous extraction of the microwave energy from two resonators through a waveguide bridge

Results of the experimental investigation of the resonant microwave pulse compression system operating in a 10-cm wavelength region are presented. The system contains two multimode resonators for storing high-frequency energy and a waveguide bridge for the fast and synchronous energy extraction. When powered from a magnetron generator having a radiation power of 5 MW and pulse duration of 4 μs, microwave pulses with an output power of ～0.8 GW, duration of ～5 ns, and pulse repetition rate up to 100 Hz were obtained in this compression system.
