Device for generating microwaves

摘要

A device for generating microwaves has a plurality of separately controlled microwave generators. Each of the generators includes a resonator, each with a capacitor structure formed with two electrodes that are separated by a spark gap. A high voltage supply charges the individual capacitor structures, which can be discharged by a breakdown of the spark gap. The individual capacitor structures are charged up by way of the high voltage supply device to a voltage that lies below the breakdown voltage of the individual spark gaps. A triggering device for triggering a breakdown of the respective spark gap is associated with each spark gap and the triggering devices are individually controlled by a common control device.

1. A device for generating microwaves, comprising:
a plurality of separately controllable microwave generators; each of said generators having a resonator with a capacitor structure formed with two electrodes that are separated by a spark gap, wherein said capacitor structure is discharged by way of a breakdown of said spark gap; a high voltage supply connected to charge each of said capacitor structures up to a given voltage below a breakdown voltage of the individual said spark gaps; a triggering device associated with each spark gap for triggering a breakdown of the respective said spark gap; and a common control device for individually controlling each of said triggering devices and for controlling all triggering devices synchronized according to a specified time schema.
