Abstract

Pulse compression is a well known method of generating high peak-power (GW level) short duration pulses, from much lower average-power, long duration pulses [1]. This poster presents a novel technique for frequency-swept pulse compression, which allows for the generation of short duration microwave pulses, at multi-GW power levels, covering the base theory of operation, numerical modelling and experimental verification of two high-power pulse compressors operating in X-band (8-12GHz).
