A compact mesoband microwave radiation system.

A compact mesoband radiation system is designed and tested. The system is composed of a charging power supply, a Marx generator, a switched quarter-wavelength oscillator, and a circularly polarized patch antenna. The Marx generator outputs a fast high-voltage pulse with a rise time of 10 ns and an amplitude of 100 kV, which is used to charge the oscillator. The oscillator consists of a quarter-wavelength coaxial transmission line, a ring ground switch, and a coupler. It generates a mesoband oscillation pulse with a center frequency of 350 MHz and a percentage bandwidth of 10%. The oscillation pulse is radiated by the circularly polarized patch antenna. The measured radiation factor is greater than 50 kV, and the radiation waveform is consistent with the simulation waveform.
