Abstract :
The Recirculating Planar Magnetron (RPM) is a crossed-field device which presents numerous potential advantages in generating High Power Microwaves (HPM). A 12-cavity, conventional-polarity, 1-GHz RPM model has been experimentally designed and tested at a -300 kV, 0.3-0.5 microsecond pulselengths and a 0.2 T axial magnetic field. The experimental results and future concepts are under investigation.
