Description

Device for improving utilization efficiency of pulse compression energy
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device for improving the utilization efficiency of pulse compression energy, which is used for solving the problem of low utilization efficiency of microwave energy in the process of path coding pulse compression and belongs to the technical field of high-power microwaves.
Background
The pulse compression technology can be used for compressing us-level long pulses to ns-level narrow pulses and obtaining a certain power gain, and microwave pulses with high peak power can be realized, so that the application of the pulse compression technology is an effective way for obtaining the HPM. The current pulse compression technology applied to the field of HPM mainly has SES, SLED type and the like, and the basic principle is to inject pulses with wide pulse width into a resonant cavity for energy storage, and then utilize a switch to mismatch the resonant cavity to obtain narrow pulses. Generally, the pulse width is related to the size of the resonator, and the pulse power is greatly improved in the compression process. But limited by the microwave open-tube performance, it is difficult to obtain high peak power microwave pulses by such pulse compression methods.
The pulse compression technology based on the path coding does not adopt a microwave switch, codes phases and frequencies of microwave long pulses at different moments, and then realizes the compression of the microwave pulses on a time dimension by utilizing the multipath effect of a large-sized metal cavity with two ports. The principle is that coded microwave long pulses are fed into the large metal cavity through the input port, and after the coded microwave long pulses are transmitted in the large metal cavity, narrow pulses with narrowed pulse width and improved peak power are formed at the output port of the large metal cavity. In order to obtain a good pulse compression effect, all the microwave energy fed into the large metal cavity from the input port is required to be collected at the output port for output.
However, because the large metal cavity is a passive structure, after the large metal cavity is excited by the microwave long pulse fed in from the input port, part of microwave energy is reflected from the input port of the large metal cavity after the microwave long pulse is reflected for many times on the side wall of the large metal cavity. Statistical analysis shows that the microwave energy reflected from the input port is about half of the total input energy. Since this portion of energy is not utilized, the overall energy utilization efficiency is low, resulting in a low efficiency of pulse compression.

Furthermore, a high-speed sampling oscilloscope is used for monitoring the microwave long pulse signal output by the pulse compression device and intercepting the sampling signal with a certain time length. And carrying out digital processing on the intercepted long pulse signal, reversing the time sequence, and carrying out normalized coding on the signal amplitude to obtain a path coding long pulse signal waveform file.
Further, the waveform file of the coded long pulse signal is led into an arbitrary waveform generator to generate a long pulse path coded microwave signal, the long pulse path coded microwave signal is input into a high-power amplifier to be amplified and then fed into a large metal cavity to be subjected to pulse compression, and then a high-power microwave narrow pulse signal with the peak power being improved and the pulse width being narrowed is obtained at an output port of the large metal cavity.
