Matching a Particular Pulser to a Parallel-Plate Simulator.

Abstract

As electromagnetic energy source that incorporates the peaking capacitor arms of a Marx generator as part of its electromagnetic configuration is to be used in an Electromagnetic Pulse simulator to be build under the supervision of the Air Force Weapons Laboratory. In this report, the positions of the peaking capacitors that fulfill certain desirable null-flux conditions are determined. The characteristic impedance and several other useful properties of the conical base of the pulser are also calculated.
