Combined Effects of Bone Marrow Cells and Pulsed Microwaves on Thermally Damaged Skin of Laboratory Rats.

We studied the effect of bone marrow cells (BMC) and nanosecond repetitively pulsed microwaves (RPMs, 10 GHz, pulse duration 100 nsec, pulse repetition rate 8 Hz, peak power flux density (pPFD) 140 W/cm) on the regeneration of thermally damaged skin in rats. The combined use of BMC and RPMs accelerates separation of an eschar with its complete rejection on day 14 of the experiment. Histological analysis demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the relative area of the granulation tissue and thickness of newly formed epidermis in the group with combined exposure.

Phase-Imposing Initiation of Cherenkov Superradiance Emission by an Ultrashort-Seed Microwave Pulse.

For the first time, we demonstrate experimentally the possibility of Cherenkov superradiant generation with a phase imposed by an ultrashort seed microwave pulse. The phases of seed and initiated Ka-band microwave pulses were correlated with the accuracy of 0.5-0.

Four channel high power rf source with beam steering based on gyromagnetic nonlinear transmission lines.

The synchronized operation of four gyromagnetic nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) was tested with a pulse repetition frequency up to 1 kHz during 1 s bursts. High voltage pulses with a duration of ∼5 ns from the solid state driver S-500 were split into four 48 Ω channels reaching about -200 kV in each channel with ∼10% variation in the amplitude. The maximum peak voltage at the NLTL output was within 220-235 kV with the maximum modulation depth of decaying oscillations up to 90% at the center frequency near 2.

Gyromagnetic RF source for interdisciplinary research.

We demonstrate a source of high power nanosecond RF pulses based on gyromagnetic nonlinear transmission line. The source is designed to explore the exposure of different biological objects to strong RF fields in an air filled rectangular waveguide loaded onto ethanol RF load. The RF pulse amplitude can be varied by 52 dB, reaching a maximum value of nearly 40 kV/cm and decreasing to tens of V/cm.

Generation of electromagnetic fields of extremely high intensity by coherent summation of Cherenkov superradiance pulses.

We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally the possibility of correlating the phase of a Cherenkov superradiance (SR) pulse to the sharp edge of a current pulse, when spontaneous emission of the electron bunch edge serves as the seed for SR processes. By division of the driving voltage pulse across several parallel channels equipped with independent cathodes we can synchronize several SR sources to arrange a two-dimensional array. In the experiments carried out, coherent summation of radiation from four independent 8-mm wavelength band SR generators with peak power 600 MW results in the interference maximum of the directional diagram with an intensity that is equivalent to radiation from a single source with a power of 10 GW.
