Ferroelectric Generators
Abstract
Ferroelectric Generators (FEGs) are compact single shot high voltage generators. They consist of a small explosive charge, ferroelectric ceramic, and an output circuit. There has been and continues to be active Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR), University, and Government programs to develop FEGs as very compact power supplies for a variety of loads including antennas, microwave sources, and detonator arrays. In this paper, we will report on some of our recent efforts to improve the performance of FEGs and to use them to drive various loads. © 2012 IEEE.
