Emission of High-Power Ultrawideband Elliptically Polarized Pulsed Radiation by a Cylindrical Helical Antenna

摘要

Ultrawideband elliptically polarized radiation is numerically and experimentally studied. The analysis is performed for the axial radiation of a cylindrical helical antenna that is excited by a bipolar voltage pulse with a duration of 2 ns. The results are used for construction of a source of high-power ultrawideband pulses with elliptical polarization. The radiation pulses with an effective potential of 300 kV are generated at an amplitude of the bipolar voltage pulse of 200 kV and a repetition rate of 100 Hz.
