The generation of high-power nanosecond radio frequency pulses is obtained by means of sequential commutation of silicon high voltage switches periodically placed in a nonlinear transmission line. The coaxial transmission line had the inner conductor made in the form of a corrugated periodic structure. The dispersive characteristics of the transmission line were optimized for RF generation by an electromagnetic shock front using numerical simulation. In the experiment, nanosecond RF pulses at frequency near 1 GHz were obtained for 2 kV incident pulses. The peak-to-peak amplitude of the excited oscillations reached about 30% of the amplitude of the incident pulse.

基于周期性放置的硅高压开关的非线性传输线

高功率纳秒射频脉冲的产生是通过周期性换向周期性放置在非线性传输线中的硅高压开关实现的。同轴传输线具有以波纹周期结构形式制成的内部导体。使用数值模拟，通过电磁冲击前沿优化了传输线的色散特性以产生RF。在实验中，对于2 kV入射脉冲，获得了1 GHz附近频率的纳秒级RF脉冲。激发振荡的峰峰值幅度达到入射脉冲幅度的约30％。
