Abstract
A microwave generator (10) having a hollow central electrode (12) with a front face including hollow emmission element (18), and having an outer electrode (14), which coaxially surrounds the central electrode (12) along an axially extending resonator section (16). The two electrodes (12, 14) define a spark gap (36) and are connected to a high-voltage source (38). An ultracompact microwave generator (10) is implemented by the high-voltage source (38) being arranged in the hollow central electrode (12) of the microwave generator (10) rather than on the outside thereof.
Claims6
A microwave generator having a hollow central electrode (12) possessing a front face which has a hollow emission element (18), an outer electrode (14) which coaxially surrounds the central electrode (12) along an axially extending resonator section (16), said two electrodes (12, 14) defining a spark gap (36) and which electrodes are connected to a high-voltage source (38), the high-voltage source (38) being arranged in the hollow central electrode (12);
- said high-voltage source (38) including a Marx generator (40) and an electrical power supply device (42) for the Marx generator (40), said Marx generator (40) being arranged in the resonator section (16) of the hollow central electrode (12);
- and the electrical power supply device (42) being arranged in the hollow emission element (18).
