An experimental study of a resonance microwave (3-cm-range) compressor with
gas insulation and energy output through a superdimensional coaxial interf
erence switch is reported. The rated parameters of the compressor are outpu
t signal power similar to 25 MW, signal duration 2 ns, gain 26 dB, and effi
ciency similar to 57%. A gain of 20 dB was achieved at a peak output signal
power of 12 MW, signal duration of 2 ns, efficiency of similar to 24%, and
traveling wave power of 24 MW. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
