Original Abstract

There are some suitable methods for ultra-short solitary electromagnetic pulses (EMP) and pulsed quantities measurement. The EMPs are generated by high power microwave generators. The characteristic of EMPs is high power level (Pmax = 250 MW) and very short time duration (ns). Special requirements for measurement methods are placed because of the specific pulses properties. Two suitable methods for this application are presented in the paper. The first – calorimetric method, utilizes the thermal impacts of microwave absorption. It is designed for measurement of vircator-emitted high-power electromagnetic pulse. The second method presented – magneto-optic method, use the Faraday’s magneto-optic effect as a sensor principle. A suitable application of magneto-optic method is measurement of pulsed current in power pulse generator. It was realized combined calorimetric sensor and there were made some experimental EMP measurements with good results. The sensor utilizing magneto-optic method is in development.
