A generator of high-power nanosecond microwave pulses in the millimeter range
Abstract
A description is given of a small millimeter-range pulse generator (based on the MIRA-2D electron accelerator) which is intended for use as a source of high-current nanosecond-duration electron beams. The slow-wave structures of the carcinotron, in the form of circular corrugated waveguides, make it possible to generate microwave radiation in the 6-10 mm range with an efficiency of 1-2 percent. The power of a microwave pulse of 10-ns duration reached 1 MW; the repetition rate amounted to 10 pulses/min and was limited by heat losses in the coils of the transporting solenoid. A block diagram of the generator is presented.
