Ni. Gaponenko et al., Formation and emission of intense electromagnetic pulses by means of an insulated rod antenna excited by a short-duration high-current relativistic electron beam, PLAS PHYS R, 26(4), 2000, pp. 360-362
The possibility of forming and emitting high-power electromagnetic pulses b
y means of an insulated rod antenna excited by a short-duration high-curren
t electron beam is studied. It is found experimentally that the amplitude o
f the emitted pulses and their characteristic period depend on the antenna
length. The potentialities of the method proposed as applied to the generat
ion of intense videopulses are discussed. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodi
