Abstract

The paper describes an axisymmetric Finite-Difference Time-Domain computer model of a coaxial Switched Wave Oscillator integrated with a dipole antenna. The model analyzes the operation of a realistic circuit model of a multistage Marx generator that charges the oscillator to a high voltage. The initial field distribution is calculated with an electrostatic finite-difference method solver to speed up the time-domain analysis. The work presents the results of our circuit model of a Marx generator’s simulations of the charging phase, followed by the results from the discharge phase, using our axisymmetric Finite-Difference Time-Domain model. Our work describes new and fast numerical solvers that can observe the operation of Switched Wave Oscillator systems (also considering the connected antenna). The codes could be used in the process of designing such a system. Advanced boundary conditions modeling the spark gap and oscillator’s excitation set our work apart from the other attempts in the literature.
