PROJECT MAPOLE (MAGNETIC DIPOLE SPARK TRANSMITTER)
Abstract
The report describes theoretical and experimental work on the development of a VHF high-power closed-ring spark transmitter, a device theoretically capable of producing gigawatt peak powers in the nanosecond pulse- length region. The investigation and the report were conveniently divided into three distinct, though interrelated, categories: First, the theoretical aspects of transmitter performance; second, an investigation of certain aspects of spark-gap performance germane to the entire undertaking; finally, the construction and experimental evaluation of the complete transmitter.
