title: Gyromagnetic RF source for interdisciplinary research.
abstract: We demonstrate a source of high power nanosecond RF pulses based on gyromagnetic nonlinear transmission line. The source is designed to explore the exposure of different biological objects to strong RF fields in an air filled rectangular waveguide loaded onto ethanol RF load. The RF pulse amplitude can be varied by 52 dB, reaching a maximum value of nearly 40 kV/cm and decreasing to tens of V/cm. The RF pulse amplitude is controlled by decreasing the incident pulse amplitude from the high voltage driver. The duration of RF pulses lies in the range from 4 to 25 ns and the frequency from 0.6 to 1.0 GHz.
