Repetitive operation of high-power microwave (HPM) sources is primarily restricted by thermal properties of anode and cathode materials. Note that even in single shot operation, vircators generally inject undesired plasma from the anode/cathode surfaces under high current densities, leading to excessive heating of electrode materials, vacuum degradation and impedance collapse that may ultimately lead...
Thermal limitations of anode materials are known to impose limits on rep-rate operation of cold-cathode high-power microwave (HPM) sources. This study focuses on performance of pyrolytic graphite (PG) anodes at a 500 Hz burst-mode operation in a reflex-triode virtual-cathode-oscillator (vircator). In most experiments, a 42 J, 300 kV pulse forming network (PFN) based Marx generator with an approximate...
