Improvements for the 2nd phase of tests
Optimization of the water cooling circuit
l Installation of flexible copper square grids between the
strip-lines and the horn to allow horn position adjustments
(+/- 3 mm)
l Installation of a pulse transformer with a ratio 20 instead of
the existing one (ratio of 32)
l Modification of electrical circuits to verify double pulse
working point (5.7 ms / 50 ms / 6 s)
