Pulsed Ferrimagnetic Microwave Generator

Abstract
The idea of making a solid-state generator using a ferrimagnetic material to convert energy from a pulsed dc magnetic field into microwave radiation has been studied by several workers. Recent theoretical studies have disclosed serious basic problems for such devices. This paper describes initial experiments on a device which avoids the principal difficulties. It uses an rf input signal together with a pulsed dc magnetic field to generate microwave pulses at a frequency higher than the input frequency. An input signal at 2.4 kMc/sec and a pulsed magnetic field of 150 gauss were used to generate a pulsed output signal at 2.8 kMc/sec.
