The design of a high power electron beam generator

B. Augsburger

Abstract

The object of this experiment is to study high power microwave breakdown across a dielectric window. In order to achieve this objective a microwave source is designed and constructed. This report discusses the design of a pulsed power system \nused to drive this microwave source. This experiment is funded by the AFOSR/AFWL. The experiment was named THOR, after the Norse God of lightning and thunder.
