Conclusion
The generated microwave pulses possess high stability and reproducibility. Alongside with capability of operation of RADAN 303 modulator in repetition rate mode and using for bunch transportation dc magnetic fields it gives possibility to generate microwave pulse with repetition frequency of 25 Hz. Observation of RF breakdown of ambient air as well as the illumination of a panel of neon bulbs with a finely structured pattern corresponding to the excitation of the TM01 mode confirms high level of the absolute power. The unique characteristic of microwave pulses such as duration (0.3 ns) in combination with 60 MW power levels and repetition rate mode is encouraging for future applications in areas such as novel diagnostics and the studying of nonlinear phenomena in plasmas and solids. Another advantage of the RADAN subnanosecond accelerator and consequently any associated experiments is that the whole system is in the form of a table-top system.
