Stand-alone, FCG-driven High Power Microwave system
A. Young,Andreas A. Neuber,Mohamed A. Elsayed,John W. Walter,James C. Dickens,M. Kristiansen,Larry L. Altgilbers +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an explosively driven high power microwave (HPM) source was developed that is based on the use of a Flux Compression Generator (FCG) as the primary driver.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Fabrication Method for a Mid-Sized, High-Energy-Density, Flux Compression Generator
TL;DR: In this article, a fabrication method is presented for a midsized (with active volumes on the order of ~300-400 cm3) dual-stage HFCG that aims to improve the reproducibility in shot to shot performance with the goal of increasing the appeal for use of HFCGs in single-shot pulsed-power applications.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Compact, Self-Contained High Power Microwave Source Based on a Reflex-Triode Vircator and Explosively Driven Pulsed Power
A. Young,T.A. Holt,Mohamed A. Elsayed,John W. Walter,James C. Dickens,Andreas A. Neuber,M. Kristiansen,Larry L. Altgilbers,A.H. Stults +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a flux compression generator (FCG) based power delivery system was developed that is capable of delivering gigawatts of power to a vircator, which is an attractive driver for these systems due to its potential for high energy amplification and inherent single-shot nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and Simulation of Simple Flux-Trapping FCGs Utilizing PSpice Software
TL;DR: A novel modeling and simulation method for flux-trapping flux-compression generators (FT-FCGs) is presented, which utilizes PSpice circuit-simulation software to solve complex differential equations derived from circuit analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of an FCG-Based High-Power Microwave System Using Nonexplosive Pulsed Power
TL;DR: A nonexplosive pulsed-power system that replicates the output current waveform of a flux compression generator (FCG) and some basic rules about fuse design, as well as conclusions on the performance of the PCS when driving an HPM load are given.
