  • Abstract
    An electroformed X-band resonant ring has been constructed to conduct breakdown experiments with dielectric gases. The resonant ring is a tuned closed waveguide loop fed by a microwave power source, and is capable of power multiplication. The authors introduce the design and techniques employed in the fabrication of the resonant ring, and present gas breakdown results obtained using nitrogen and sulphur hexafluoride.<>
