Abstract:
A generator of high-power Ku-band microwave pulses with resonant pulse compression is described. It allows thestepped control of output-pulse durations from 1 ns to 1.5 s at a pulse repetition rate of 0.2–1.5 kHz and a peak power of 58 kW to 10 MW. This source can be used for investigating the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with various objects.
