HANDBOOK ON HIGH POWER CAPABILITIES OF WAVEGUIDE SYSTEMS.

Abstract

The high power capabilities of waveguide systems are specified, for the commonly used waveguide modes of propagation, in terms of electrical breakdown at high peak powers and excessive temperature rise at high average power. The material includes the characteristics of various gases and the effects of such factors as pulse length, repetition rate, gas temperature, harmonics, spurious modes and standing waves. Also included are the effects resulting from non-uniform conditions in electric field and gas temperature. The information is given primarily in graphical form from which the values of power can be readily obtained. A section also discusses the problems associated with reducing the likelihood of the occurrence of failures in high power waveguide systems. (Author)
