Abstract
- In this Note, a type of Differential Switched Oscillator (DSWO) system is developed and compared with the conventional single-ended switched oscillator; the power capacity of the DSWO is twice with the same insulation level and twice total length. The DSWO system consists of a differential high-voltage pulsed source, a DSWO, and a pair of differential helical antennas. The differential pulsed source is based on the hydrogen thyratron and pulsed transformer whose peak voltage can theoretically reach ±100 kV to break down the high-pressure switch, whose limiting gas pressure is 25 atm; the DSWO is designed to generate a damped oscillation pulse with a central frequency of 300 MHz, which is also the central frequency of the differential helical antennas. Thus, a damped oscillation pulse can be produced and radiated to generate high-power mesoband circularly polarized electromagnetic fields, and the axial ratio is 1.98. According to the measured results, the central frequency of the developed DSWO is 284 MHz, the percent bandwidth of the radiating field is 11%, and the amplitude of the far-field effective potential is 105 kV.
