Microwave pulse compression experiments in a waveguide cavity with RF breakdown triggered switch

摘要

SAVELEC (SAfe control of non cooperative Vehicles through ELECtromagnetic means) is a European research project that aims at stopping a vehicle by interfering with its Electronic Units (EUs), yet without any consequences on the passengers or any irreversible damage on the vehicle. Microwave pulse compression (MPC) systems are considered as a key element towards this goal, since they provide high-levels of generated power and a relatively wide spectrum that could efficiently affect vehicle's EUs.
