Abstract :
Breakdown phenomena were studied when high power microwave pulses radiated to the atmosphere through the split horn antenna. The electrical characteristics of radiated signal such as power and pulse width strongly influence on the breakdown phenomena. This paper provides the information about threshold limitations of the antenna to radiate without breakdown phenomena.
