Abstract
A semi-analytical model for the propagation of the repetition frequency high power microwave (HPM) pulses is established. The effects of different parameters of the repetition frequency HPM pulses on air breakdown are analyzed. A critical repetition frequency for the HPM pulse is presented under which the electron density does not exceed that of the air breakdown when the individual pulse arrives. The prediction for the critical repetition frequency and the threshold of the air breakdown due to the repetition frequency HPM pulses is demonstrated with several numerical simulations.
