"Backward-Wave Suppression Analysis, and Design and Fabrication of a Prototype Millimeter-Wave Ring-Bar Slow-Wave Structure" A challenge for high-power millimeter-wave (mmw) traveling-wave tube (TWT) amplifiers is to realize high-power operation without incurring oscillation from backward-wave (BW) interaction. Conventional wisdom purports that contrawound (including ring bar) helix TWTs are superior to monofilar helix TWTs for stability against BW oscillations due to a zero or at least greatly suppressed BW interaction impedance (KBW) compared with the forward-wave (FW) interaction impedance (KFW). more...  | ||
"Stabilized Operation of a Microwave Compressor Driven by Relativistic S-Band Magnetron" The stabilized operation of a microwave compressor based on a travelling wave resonator, producing at its output microwave pulses with a power of (1.15~pm ~0.05) GW and duration of (12 pm 2) ns, is described. The compressor is pumped by a relativistic S-band magnetron generating microwave pulses with a power up to 250 MW and duration of (sim 100) ns. more... | ||
"A High Vacuum, High Electric Field Pulsed Power Interface Based on a Ceramic Insulator" Improving the flashover voltage in a vacuum interface between a pulsed-power system and a vacuum region has been a goal for many years. The interface problem is difficult because of the electrical, mechanical, and vacuum issues that must be satisfied simultaneously. In this paper, according to the theories of vacuum flashover and the design rules for high electric field insulators, a ceramic insulated vacuum interface is presented. more... | ||
Soliton Generation Using Nonlinear Transmission Lines In recent years, there has been great interest in the study of nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) for high-power radio frequency (RF) generation. The periodicity of the NLTL accounts for dispersion effects, whereas its nonlinear elements (inductors and/or capacitors) are responsible for the nonlinear processes. more | ||
Pulsed Power Generation by Solid-State LTD A solid-state linear transformer driver stack has been developed to demonstrate pulsed power generation and output pulse shaping. It consists of 30 modules each using 24 power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors as switches. The output voltage of the stack is the superposition of the voltage pulse of each module no matter if the modules are switched synchronously or not....more | ||
Influencing Factors of Dielectric Breakdown in the PEF Treatment Chamber Electrical breakdown of the treatment chambers under repetitive high-intensity pulses impedes the industrial application of pulsed electric field (PEF) technology. In this paper, phenomenon and laws of electric discharges in the PEF treatment chambers were studied. The experimental results indicate that temperature increase and formation of gas bubbles under high electric field strength reduces insulation of water solution....more | ||
