Abstract

Effective electromagnetic coupling with electronic equipment at radiation is used by a high power microwave (HPM) weapons source which means a relativistic backward wave oscillator in here. In the process of researching, developing and using HPM source, we have been studying a real “effective coupling” source which is able to attack the overall target, suitable in all situation ns. The experimental results show the broken electronic equipment or circuit damages after the radiation by an X-band relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) of a HPM source with mode conversion. We used 500kA-5kA RBWO. The RF power is 0.5GW-30ns at 10GHz with mode conversion radiation from TM01 to TE11.
