Abstract :
This paper presents results from our studies of 15 ohm and 30 ohm tapered MILOs; it will describe some of the technical challenges faced and their resolution, and conclude with an outline of potential future developments. Tapered MILOs are variants of the magnetically insulated line oscillator (MILO) which use novel tapered slow-wave structure, diode layout and axial power extraction. They produce long pulses at power levels of several gigawatts and with frequencies up to several GHz.
