Abstract:A complete pulsed power source, named MOUNA, is composed of a set of batteries, a DC/DC converter to charge four capacitors, four synchronized spark gap switches, a resonant transformer generating 600kV/265ns pulses, an oil peaking switch and a dipole antenna. This device must transmit waveforms with a wide frequency band and a high figure-of-merit.However, to radiate very high electric fields, the low gain of the dipole antenna is detrimental. The use of a directional antenna may improve performance really si… Show more
