Study of Active Microwave Compressors Excited by Magnicon Radiation at a Frequency of 11.4 GHz
2003
We present the results of a study of single-channel and two-channel compressors of microwave pulses, operated at a frequency of 11.4 GHz, in which a high-Q factor storing resonator and a novel plasma switch are used. In the single-channel compressor excited by magnicon radiation at a frequency of 11.4 GHz, 24-MW pulses have been obtained for a compression ratio equal to 8. In the two-channel compressor, coherent composition of pulses with the use of a 3-dB directional coupler has been demonstrated. Compressed pulses with powers of 9 to 11 MW and durations of 50 to 60 ns have been obtained at the incident-power level 1–1.5 MW, which corresponded to the compression ratio k = 8–9.3.
