Hertizian Generator Development

Abstract

Lopment.Technical rept. (Final), FHouston,S. D. ;Bailey, David ;BDM/A- 90F30602-72-C-0388AF-5573557303RADCTR-73-325*Radiofrequency generators, Ultrahigh frequency, Very high frequency, Pulse generators, Generators, Microwaves. The report summarizes the results of a one-year theoretical and experimental study of the frozen wave Hertzian concept for electromagnetic wave generation. The bulk of the effort was devoted to the switch problem, in particular, switch synchronization. Several configurations are evaluated and the design of a 200 MHz generator is treated in some detail. Limitations on frequency, efficiency, power, etc., are discussed in terms of available switch technology, materials, etc.
