A fast, 3 MV Marx generator for megavolt oil switch testing and integrated Abramyan network design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The University of Missouri-Columbia has a new test facility online to study oil breakdown of enhanced and uniform gaps. The 3 megavolt Marx generator is operational with switch configurations tested including large electrode ...
Development of a dual frequency, folded topology, dielectric waveguide lens antenna
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
structures which may be reflector based. The weight of a simulated all metal antenna design with the desired gain, bandwidth, and steering was calculated as between 2,000 and 4,000 pounds. Due to a 400-500-pound weight constraint an innovative approach based...
Compact power conditioning and RF systems for a high power RF source
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
As part of the University Consortium for High Power Microwave (HPM) Integration, compact power conditioning and RF systems were investigated with a maximum diameter of 15.24 cm. A simulator of a flux compression generator ...
Simulation and experimental study of the multichanneling rimfire gas switch
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Since 1985, the Rimfire switch has been used extensively in accelerators at Sandia National Laboratories. Demands for increased future accelerator performance require improvements to the Rimfire switch. This thesis is both ...
Spectrographic temperature measurement of a breakdown arc within the rimfire gas switch
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
A procedure for obtaining the temperature of optically thick plasma is described. The plasma is in the form of a gas breakdown arc which conducts approximately 10-kJ of energy in 1-[mu]s. A spectrographic analysis of the ...
