Wireless power transmission (WPT) has seen rapid growth during the last decades. It is a promising technology which has gained worldwide attentions in several applications (smart grid, defense systems…). WPT has proved its capability to be convenient, safe and autonomous. Nevertheless, this technology requires a high power and large area coupler which increases the human exposure to the...
Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) are interest because they can sharpen pulses to produce oscillations from 100 MHz to low GHz once their permittivity and permeability have saturated and the electromagnetic shockwave has formed [1]. NLTLs typical use nonlinear dielectrics such as barium strontium titanate (BST), nonlinear magnetic materials such as nickel zinc ferrites (NZF), or both...
Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) utilize nonlinear dielectrics to sharpen the input pulse to generate an electromagnetic shockwave for compact, high repetition rate, high power microwave sources. This shock wave generates microwave oscillations that can be propagated as a directed beam toward the intended target. Materials such as barium titanate (BT), barium strontium titanate (BST), and...
Compact pulsed power systems are often limited by the size and shape of the capacitors required for high voltage energy storage. Marx banks, pulse forming networks, and other devices requiring multiple capacitors are larger than necessary due to the size and shape of the capacitors as well as the geometry of the connection terminals. The size and weight of the capacitor are determined by the...
The safety of the power system is related to the magnitude of its overvoltage. Therefore, an overvoltage online monitoring device needs to be installed for monitoring. In order to obtain the lightning overvoltage information of distribution lines and realize effective monitoring of lightning parameters in the area, an overvoltage monitoring device needs to be installed on distribution lines....
