Research on dynamic characteristics of injectors gives us insight for preventing combustion instability in a rocket engine. While lots of studies have been done about swirl injectors' dynamic characteristics, little is known about impinging jet injectors' dynamic characteristics. For this reason, this study was aimed to reveal the dynamic characteristics of an impinging jet injector based on experiment using a hydraulic mechanical pulsator. Gain, which is the relationship between input pressure and output value(pressure or velocity) was analyzed with the frequency and manifold pressure change. Pulsating frequency was chosen in the low range: 5, 10, 15 Hz. As a background work, Methods to determine the jet velocity were discussed. Klystron effect was also considered as a factor of this experiment.
