Research results for a resonant microwave compressor consisting of two waveguide T-joints are presented. When feeding the compressor with the help of a pulse magnetron with 2 MW power and 3.2 μs duration of microwave pulses the maximum power gain of 23 dB and the peak power of 400 MW is obtained in S-band for the 4 μs long pulses.
