The mw frequency can be electronically adjusted in the range of 36-38 GHz with the maximal mw output of 120 mW and electronic attenuation of 0-60 dB. The value of the mw frequency can be stabilized and changed via automatic frequency control for direct and alternating current. A self-written Matlab-based program allows tuning and operating the bridge through the RS-485 interface. Examples of the EPR spectra implemented into the magnetic system of the Bruker ESP300 commercial spectrometer are shown</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>microwave</kwd><kwd>spectrometer</kwd><kwd>electron paramagnetic resonance</kwd><kwd>dynamic nuclear polarization</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The work is financially supported by Russian Science Foundation (grant #19–12–00332)</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Vakhin A.
