A direct approach to RF/HPM generation with regards to MCG

Computer simulations and experimental studies were carried out. The results show that conventional Marx generators can produce powerful RF/HPM emissions. It is shown that the model herewith proposed is related to the operation of MCG as the RF/HPM device. The RF/HPM radiation can also be produced by a simple oscillatory circuit containing a switch and operating in air. Here, the applied voltage has a Gaussian shape, as observed in our experiments on energy compression [1]. In addition to generating a wideband RF/HPM spectrum, our systems can be made to radiate mainly at discrete frequencies in this range.
