High Power Microwave Compressor with Two Output Units for Synchronous Energy Extraction

Article Preview

Abstract:

The compressor contains the oversized cylindrical cavity with two interference output units each in the figure of a circular waveguide H-tee. The H-tees are coupled by a waveguide section and the energy is extracted synchronously through two output ports. The synchronism is provided through using a single microwave switch mutual for both H-tees. Simulation and experimental study of the X-band microwave compressor were carried out. The simulation made it possible to optimize the configuration of the oversized storage cavity and the output element. The amplification factor was 14 dB when the energy was extracted though one output unit at the output pulsewidth of 6...7 ns. Amplification factor and the output power were increased by 2dB and the pulsewidth was decreased down to 3...3.5 ns when the energy was extracted synchronously through two output units.
