Research On Pulse Compression Energy Extraction Technology Based On X-Band Energy Storage Switching Method

A high power microwave source based on energy storage switching pulse compression technology can produce a high power microwave pulse with good repeatability and frequency stability for a long time and has a good development prospect. In order to improve the power gain, this paper studies the working characteristics of the energy extraction structure of the X-band energy storage switching pulse compression device. The theoretical analysis results show that the impedance mismatch exists in the traditional energy extraction structure after the pulse compression is transferred to the energy extraction stage and the energy extraction efficiency is not high, which results in the power gain limitation. Therefore, through theoretical calculation and simulation, an improved scheme based on output inductance diaphragm is proposed in this paper. The scheme has high power capacity and can achieve impedance matching without changing the resonant frequency of the energy storage cavity, so as to improve the power gain of the pulse compression device. The high power experimental results show that the power gain of the pulse compression device can be increased from 6.24 times to 7.22 times and the energy extraction efficiency can be increased by 17.5% by placing 17 mm slot spacing inductance diaphragm at 45 mm of the H-T arm of the waveguide, which verifies the feasibility of the improved scheme.
