Description

A pulsed power system based on a coaxial switched oscillator was built and tested. The switched oscillator is charged to over 100 kV either by a Marx generator or a PZT-based autonomous power supply. When coupled to a helical antenna, the system generates electromagnetic radiation with a frequency bandwidth centred on 500 MHz.
