NANOSECOND SWITCH DEVELOPMENT.
Abstract
A program to develop a switch or switch technique suitable for use in a stripline voltage multiplication circuit is reported. Switch requirements include rise time and jitter of less than 5 nsec, inductance in the low nanohenry range, as well as simplicity, reliability and ease of maintenance. Two major tasks were the design and development of a high pressure gas switch aimed at meeting the above requirements and the obtaining of sufficient fundamental breakdown data in liquid and solid dielectrics to show their feasibility as a nanosecond switching medium. A comprehensive switch literature search and the bibliography included here show that no existing switches meet program requirements. (Author)
