Sources of intense impulse microwave emission

Abstract

Impulse electromagnetic fields of large intensity in combination with ultra-short pulse (USP) duration are widely used for modification a property of materials, creation special types of radars and test facilities at studies of electromagnetic compatibility/strength (EMC/S). Long-term experience of NSC KIPT in the area of high-power impulse radiation sources used for tests of radio- and electronic equipment and components to impact of USP microwaves with narrowband (NB) and ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency ranges is considered below. General data on USP radiation sources integrated into test stands of NSC KIPT are shown in Table 1 [1].
