ABSTRACT:
The invention is a high power microwave hardened mine wherein a detonation harge and its appropriate detonation circuitry are disposed within a housing that is impervious to high power microwave energy. A power source and a sensor that provides the detonation signal are connected to the detonation circuitry via two sets of input and output piezoelectric transducers which convert an electrical signal to an acoustic one, the input, and then convert the acoustic signal back to an electrical signal, the output. By providing for d.c. to r.f. and r.f. to d.c. converters, the power source can be placed externally to the metal package and therefore, the battery can be easily and safely replaced.
