Pulse Power Systems Employing Magnetic Energy Storage.

Abstract

Several basic aspects of pulsed power systems supplying repetitive pulses and using inductive energy storage are investigated. These include the method of inductor charging, the efficiency of discharging with a resistive opening switch, the limitations of thermally driven resistors as opening switches, the design of pulse forming networks for time-varying resistive loads and the relative merits of voltage-fed versus current-fed networks, and some limitations on inductors.
