HIGH POWER CAPABILITIES OF WAVEGUIDE SYSTEMS
Abstract
The limitations of high power waveguide systems were studied. The usefulness of standard heat transfer expressions was demonstrated for calculating the temperature of waveguides under high average power conditions. The results of cavit measurements of breakdown are presented for high dielectric strength gases which yield improvements in peak power handling in excess of 10:1 at atmospheric pressure. These results include observation of deviations from the simple pressure squared dependence of breakdown power. The dependence of temperature rise on the scaling of waveguide systems is analyzed and finally some of the problems encountered in high power systems are discussed. (Author)
