Generation of High Power Microwave Radiation with the Aid of High Explosive

Abstract : The present paper looks into the Magnetic Flux Compressors (MFC) from the point of view of their integration with high power microwave sources. First of all the typical constructions and principals of there operations will be considered. After that the possibilities of production of video impulse will be discussed and MFC as a pulsed power system for feeding relativistic microwave generators will be described.
