On the Electrical Design of Pill-Box Type High Power Microwave Window

Abstract

In this paper, a detailed design procedure for designing a thin disc pill-box type microwave window, operating in narrow frequency range at S-band and at a power level of 5 MW, has been given. The design criteria and a generalised design flow chart have been presented and discussed in detail. A method has been suggested for quicker experimental optimisation of the length of the circular waveguide section, which results in substantial saving of time and material. This design methodology can easily be adopted for designing practical pill-box type high power microwave windows.
