Gyromagnetic source of high power wideband pulses

Abstract

In this paper we present the results on simulation and experimental research of RF oscillations excitement in gyromagnetic nonlinear transmission line. The oscillations were observed in the frequency range 1.5-1.7 GHz. The choice of the appropriate ferrite type and irradiating helix antenna was followed by the development of high power RF source. The irradiated RF pulses were characterized by 80 kV effective potential and close to circular polarization. The gyromagnetic RF source has shown stable operation at 400 Hz repetition rate.
