Abstract
RF beam sources (HPM sources) serve in the non-lethal destruction, interference or screening of targets. An explosive-triggered RF beam source ( ) constructed solely from a pulse-generation device ( ), whose generated pulses are radiated directly at a target is provided. The pulse generator ( ) is a magnetic flux compressor, and has a coil ( ) that is filled with explosive material ( ). A capacitive load (C ) integrated into the RF beam source ( ) is connected on the output side to the pulse-generator ( ), and forms an electrical resonating circuit with the coil ( ) and simultaneously functions as an antenna. Preferably, an element ( ) is mounted in the region ( ) between the coil body ( ) and the windings ( ) to increase the number of free electrons for supporting the plasma formation and attaining a higher conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy, and therefore inducing a higher frequency.
