Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this paper, we will describe several RF sources that oscillate at frequencies in the range 1-60 MHz. Wherever possible, the devices were tested both in a screen room with HV probes attached directly to the output terminals and using E-field probes to measure radiated waveforms from appropriate antenna structures. The limits on power and frequency will be discussed in terms of breakdown phenomena and geometric constraints.
