Abstract
Operation of a microwave spark gap switch triggered with a short high-voltage pulse is described. C-band power of 1 MW peak and 4/spl mu/s pulse width was switched in less than 10 ns at 100 pps with less than 0.3 dB arc loss in air at atmospheric pressure. Use in a cavity resonator to give an efficient pulse compression circuit is described. Switch recovery and turn off data are given.
