Brief Technology Survey of High-Power Microwave Sources.


DE2001782595

Publication Date 2001
Personal Author Bacon, ; Rinehart,
Page Count 20
Abstract This report provides a brief summary of the characteristics of contemporary high-power microwave sources. The focus is on their physical and operational characteristics and regions of application rather than their theory of operation. Magnetrons, linear beam tubes, split-cavity oscillators, virtual cathode oscillators, gyrotrons, free-electron lasers, and orbitron microwave masers are described. Power supply requirements and engineering issues of the application of HPM devices are addressed.
