Autonomous high power pulsed EMR source

Design and characteristics of compact powerful nanosecond UWB pulse source intended for study of particular electromagnetic compatibility problems are given. For excitation of dipole antenna we use high voltage drive-pulse generator with voltage output of U G ≈550 kV. Power supply is a set of rechargeable batteries. Designed source of radiation is characterized by the following parameters: field range product (FRP = E×R) equals to 700 kV (with parabolic reflector about 1.2×1.2×0.6 m overall). Peak of radiation spectrum is at the frequency of 0.3 GHz. Pulse-repetition frequency is up to 1 kHz. The source as a whole is combined into monoblock of 1 m high and 0.24 m in diameter. Total weight of the source is 65 kg approximately.
