Abstract

The feasibility of utilizing the chemical energy stored in high explosives to generate an antenna capable of radiating for several microseconds is studied. Crucial parameters such as conductivity as a function of time, maximum achievable antenna length for given initial device volume and weight, and material dependence are assessed by sub microsecond optical and electrical diagnostics. By utilizing a rotating framing mirror camera with up to 4 Megaframes per second, which produces a color image sequence consisting of 125 frames, possible premature breakup of the transient antenna rod is measured with adequate spatial and temporal resolution, thus revealing a rod growth velocity of a few millimeters/microsecond. Electrical diagnostic, primarily aimed at the conductivity between selected points along the rod propagation, enables to make a connection with the observed behavior based on the optical diagnostics. Maintaining electrical contact at the base of the device while the rod is fully formed is crucial and will be discussed in detail.

一种爆炸成形瞬态天线的可行性研究

研究了利用烈性炸药中储存的化学能制造能持续辐射数微秒的天线的可行性。关键参数，如电导率作为时间的函数，给定初始器件体积和重量的最大可实现天线长度，以及材料依赖性，通过亚微秒光学和电气诊断进行评估。通过使用每秒高达4兆帧的旋转分幅反射相机，产生由125帧组成的彩色图像序列，以足够的空间和时间分辨率测量瞬态天线杆可能的过早破裂，从而揭示杆的生长速度为几毫米/微秒。电气诊断主要针对沿杆传播的选定点之间的电导率，可以根据光学诊断与观察到的行为建立联系。当棒完全成形时，保持设备底部的电接触是至关重要的，我们将详细讨论。
