Abstract :
A number of recent efforts have been made to develop high power wideband sources for test and evaluation and general electronic disruption. Applied Physical Electronics, L.C. has developed technology covering 100 MHz to 400 MHz, and is continually working to broaden this area of coverage. The system is based on a single compact pulse power source, capable of delivering 1.7 GW peak power with repetition rates up to 200 Hz. Interchangeable dipole antennas are connected to the pulse power source via high voltage cabling, and are capable of radiating electric field strengths of several hundred kV/m. This paper presents the basic characteristics of the system, followed by experimental data.
