INVESTIGATION OF MICROWAVE DUPLEXER SWITCHING MECHANISMS,

Abstract

Sound waves are established in various gases by intense local RF breakdown. The propagation velocity of these waves is measured by means of electrical and electromechanical pressure trans ducers, and these velocity measurements are used to determine the temperature of the neutral gas in a DC discharge and to study the presence of ozone in RF discharges in air and oxygen. Experi mental investigation of the nonlinear interaction of electromagnetic waves with shock waves was initiated during the past quarter. Experiments performed to date indicate that shock velocities to at least Mach 15 can be produced in the experimental apparatus. (Author)
