Field management for a self-breakdown switched oscillator

“High power” microwave (HPM) sources have been developed over the past few decades for many applications [1]. Intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) describes a wide range of technologies that are designed to disrupt the performance of electronic systems by introduction of spurious signals in different frequency ranges. IEMI systems must also typically be high power, since it is generally desired to have as large an effect possible at as long of distances possible [2, 3].
