A Multifunctional Long-Lifetime High-Voltage Vacuum Insulator for HPM Generation

A multifunctional, long-lifetime, compact, and coaxial high-voltage (HV) vacuum insulator for Tesla-type generators is proposed for high-power microwave (HPM) generation. This vacuum insulator has two features. First, it is multifunctional since it can not only support the two conductors of the transmission line (TL), supply a vacuum environment for load, but also can eliminate a prepulse from the...
