Compact A6 magnetron with a neodymium permanent magnet

The total efficiency of an HPM (High Power Microwave) system can be significantly increased by replacing the pulsed electromagnet system with a solenoidal permanent magnet. Additionally, the total size and weight of the system can be greatly reduced, thus providing a highly compact HPM source. We will test the feasibility of a permanent magnet on an A6 magnetron that uses a simple mode converter for axial extraction of microwaves.
