Abstract :
The diagnostics used to measure the voltage and current of the vacuum diode used in the high power microwave generator at Texas Tech University are discussed. The current probe is a transmission line Rogowski coil that has demonstrated nanosecond risetinies and has an output proportional to the excitation current for approximately 70 nanoseconds. The voltage probe is a software compensated resistive divider.
