| Popis: | High-power microwave sources applied to a directed-energy weapon can lead to permanent damage by radiating concentrated energy in a specific direction to disturb or overload electronic equipment. The effect analysis on the target, such as electronics exposed to electromagnetic pulse, should be considered as an important factor in determining the performance of high-power microwave sources and conducting experimental evaluations. In this study, a magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator, one of the representative high-power microwave sources based on vacuum electronics device, was constructed and experimental analysis with respect to electromagnetic pulse effects was performed. The specification of the magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator used in this study corresponded to 3 GW of high-power electromagnetic wave pulses operating at L-band. The power efficiency was approximately 10 – 15%. For effective targeting, a Vlasov antenna that converts TM01 mode to TE11 mode was designed and fabricated. The radiation pattern was confirmed via fluorescent lamps, and to confirm the effect of the directed-energy weapon on the target, an effect analysis was performed using a portable electronic device as a sample. Furthermore, the electric field was measured with a D-dot probe and quantified and compared. This study presents a future blueprint of the value of the directed-energy weapon by predicting the radiant output power of the weapon in the far-field region after it is mounted on a movable ground vehicle or unmanned aerial vehicle. |
