Electromagnetic pulse generator using an electron beam produced with an electron multiplier

A pulse generator for producing high-energy, subnanosecond electromagnetic pulses. The generator comprises a pulsed cathode assembly (160) which includes a microchannel-plate electron multiplier (150) triggered by a low-intensity, pulsed electron beam. An intense, pulsed electron beam obtained from...

Zusammenfassung:A pulse generator for producing high-energy, subnanosecond electromagnetic pulses. The generator comprises a pulsed cathode assembly (160) which includes a microchannel-plate electron multiplier (150) triggered by a low-intensity, pulsed electron beam. An intense, pulsed electron beam obtained from the cathode assembly is directed through aperture (71) in waveguiding structure (170). It generates electromagnetic pulses, which are carried by the waveguiding structure to load (130).
