Abstract

For a compact microwave generator (11) with powerfully wide-band microwave radiation in which there is a marked resonance increase whose frequency center of gravity is variable in order to be able to adapt the power center in respect of the radiated wavelengths to the geometrical structure of a circuit configuration to be disturbed, a conductor (29) which coaxially surrounds the spark gap (13) between the electrodes (14-15) is electrically connected to one of the two electrodes (15) mechanically adjustably in its effective length as a variable resonator.
