Compression and Radiation of High-Power Short RF Pulses. I. Energy Accumulation in Direct-Flow Waveguide Compressors

Proper design of e-cient microwave energy compressors requires precise understanding of the physics pertinent to energy accumulation and exhaust processes in resonant waveguide cavities. In this paper, practically for the flrst time these highly non-monotonic transient processes are studied in detail using a rigorous time-domain approach. Additionally, in∞uence of the geometrical design and excitation parameters on the compressor's performance is quantifled in detail.
