Power amplification of resonance microwave compressor with energy output by oscillation mode transformation

Abstract

The paper introduces the results of estimations of principle characteristics of the resonance microwave compressor with energy output by oscillation mode transformation on coupling window of a resonator with closed waveguide stub. The authors have considered the problem of providing weak coupling of the resonator with the load in energy storage mode. The power and amplification of microwave compressor output pulses were estimated. It was shown that pulse power amplification in the compressor investigated may be comparable to the amplification in the compressor with energy output through the H-tee-based interference switch. The waveguide stubs with coupling windows area comparable to the resonator section area are required to be applied in microwave compressor with oscillation mode transformation to achieve the amplification which is comparable to wave amplification in a storage resonator.
