Abstract
A microwave generator has at least one resonator with two mutually opposite resonator electrodes which are separated by a spark gap. The spark gap breaks down when a high-voltage is applied. The resonator electrodes are designed in the area of the spark gap such that they result in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional section with a substantially constant, minimum electrode separation.
Claims16
A microwave generator, comprising:
- at least one resonator having two mutually opposite resonator electrodes disposed to define a spark gap therebetween separating said resonator electrodes and subject to breaking down when a high voltage is applied;
- said resonator electrodes being configured, in a region of said spark gap, to form a two-dimensional or three-dimensional section with a substantially constant, minimum electrode separation;
- at least one of said resonator electrodes being formed with a projecting ring structure;
- each of said resonator electrodes being formed with at least one ring structure;
- and
- respective said ring structures having different radii and one engages in the other.
