Abstract

In this note, a portable ultrawideband (UWB) electromagnetic radiator is developed based on a transistorized pulser with the peak power of 1.4 MW, the rise time less than 150 ps, and the repetition frequency of 50 kHz. To generate high-amplitude pulses, a 100-stage Marx circuit with parallel connection of multiple transistors is proposed. To improve the pulse repetition rate, the parallel charging Marx circuit is adopted with ferrite beads connected in series between stages for high isolation of pulses. In order to radiate the UWB electromagnetic pulse directionally, a compact combined antenna array is fabricated and connected with the pulser via a coaxial feeding module. The effective potential of the UWB radiator reaches 10.5 kV with the band range (-10 dB) from 173 MHz to 2.32 GHz.
