Development of accelerator for high-power microwave applications based on the forming line supplied with current

Abstract

At present, explosive magnetic generators (EMG) are the most energy containing sources for pulsed power applications. The use of MCG for power supply of microwave generators significantly reduce the weight and sizes of installation as a whole. Modern fast-run MCGs are capable to transmit into load dozens or even hundreds of kJ during only a few microseconds. For matching with relatively high-resistance load, which is most of microwave generators, it is very useful to take the advantage of an intermediate inductive store with electroexplosive opening switch (EEOS).
