High Voltage Nanosecond Pulse Generator.

Abstract

This Second Triannual Report describes work performed during the period 1 May 77 to 30 Aug 77 to develop three high voltage nanosecond pulse generators. The objective of the development is a set of pulse generators of small volume, low weight, and high efficiency. Testing of the power supply and modulator for Task A Pulse Generator, operating either single pulse or 15 Hz at a pulse width of 125 ns, pulse voltage of 30 kV, and pulse current of 1200 amps, has been initiated. The design of an SCR-magnetic modulator for Task B Pulse Generator, providing a 5 kV, 4 A, 100 ns pulse to the load, has been completed. Switches to meet the ultra high speed requirements for Task C Pulse Generator were evaluated in test circuits. (Author)
