Abstract:
The wideband High-Power Microwave (HPM) sources, which combine the advantages of narrowband and ultrawideband sources, have drawn much attention. As a kind of wideband source, the gyromagnetic nonlinear transmission lines (GNLTLs) can directly modulate the incident pulses into radio frequency pulses without relying on the interaction between e-beam and microwaves. Due to the special working mechanism of gyromagnetic precession, the center frequency of the GNLTL can also be adjusted in a certain range. Based on classical magnetism and a simplified model of the GNLTL, this paper semi-quantitatively and theoretically analyzed the generation mechanism of HPM and illustrated the influences of the variations of parameters on the output microwaves. Then, a simple simulation based on 1-dimensional transmission line modeling method was carried out to study the performance of the GNLTL quantitatively, with the coupling of 1D telegraphist equations and the 3D Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Simulation results preliminarily verified the conclusions derived from the theoretical analysis, and some working characteristics of the GNLTL were also obtained. This paper may help to understand the special working mechanism of the GNLTL and provide certain guidance for related simulations and experiments.
