Article Synopsis
- High-power ultrawideband (UWB) radiation systems require multiple modules due to limitations in output from avalanche transistors, which can lead to larger apertures and narrower beams, restricting some applications.
- A new approach using a power-law time delay distribution method is proposed to optimize the relative excitation times of the modules for better performance, helping prevent undesirable beam splitting during beam broadening.
- The developed radiation system with 36 modules achieves a peak effective potential of 313.6 kV and a pulse-repetition rate of 20 kHz, while broadening the beam width in the H-plane from 3.9° to 7.9° and allowing for flexible polarization adjustment.
