1. A high frequency electromagnetic radiation generation device comprising:

  • a high voltage input configured to receive electrical pulses having a first peak voltage that is greater than 5 kV;

    a nonlinear transmission line electrically coupled with the high voltage input;

    an antenna electrically coupled with the nonlinear transmission line that radiates electromagnetic radiation at a frequency greater than 100 MHz about a voltage greater than 5 kV; and

    a pulse recirculating circuit electrically coupled with the high voltage input and the antenna, the pulse recirculating circuit comprising;

    a diode;

    a low pass filter; and

    a delay line;

    wherein unradiated energy from the antenna is directed through the pulse recirculating circuit to the nonlinear transmission line with a delay of less than 500 ns.
