Vega, FelixRachidi, Farhad2016-10-102016-10-102016-10-10201610.1109/TPS.2016.2581308https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/129699WOS:000387239900052We present a new technique for the design and test of coaxial switched oscillators (SWOs). In this paper (Part I of a two-part paper), we concentrate on the electrostatic design of coaxial SWOs. We introduce a new design for the electrodes, which have been conceived as conformal surfaces in a geometrically convenient curvilinear space where Laplace equation is solvable. Analytical solution of the electrostatic fields is presented, discussed, and validated using numerical simulation. A prototype of an SWO based on this design is built and validated using experimental data.Conformal electrodesmesoband radiatorsswitched oscillator (SWO)text::journal::journal article::research article
