All-in-One, High-Power Microwave System

A device was developed that uses composite-based nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) for a complete high-power microwave system, eliminating the need for multiple auxiliary systems. The interest in NLTLs has increased in the past few decades because they offer an effective solid-state alternative to conventional vacuum-based, high-power microwave generators that require large and expensive external systems such as cryogenic electromagnets and high-voltage nanosecond pulse generators.
