Abstract
A microwave generator includes a resonator which has two mutually opposite resonator electrodes formed with a spark gap device that breaks down when an ignition voltage is applied. In order to provide the microwave generator with increased power, in which the resonator can be operated at relatively high ignition voltages or field strengths, the spark gap device has at least two spark gaps connected in series.
