Inductances of Folded Foil Configurations

Abstract

The purpose of the work was to explore the methods for construction of low-inductance exploding foil packages. The conducting media was 0.001-inch aluminum foil and was folded accordian-pleat fashion with dielectric sheets interleaved to produce a compact switch package that may be placed between the conductors of a parallel-plate transmission line. The results of this study shown good fit of measured foil package inductances with the expected behavior and imply that it is indeed possible to use foils of long length in low- inductance imply that it is indeed possible to use foils of long length in low-inductance circuits.
