High Power Modulator.

Abstract

This report describes the High Power Modulator (HPM) which was constructed for the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) by Pulse Sciences Incorporated of San Leandro, California (PSI) in accordance with the specifications set forth in contract N00014-86-C-2020. The nominal electrical specifications for the HPM were to produce a 1 microsec. flattop (x or- 3%) pluse with a minimum amplitude of 200 kV into a 400 ohm resistive load but with a design goal of 250 kV. The HPM meets or exceeds the design goals. The HPM has three modes of operation; 1) single shot, 2) continuous repetitive at rates up to 1 Hz, and 3) burst for up to 50 pulses at rates up to 100 Hz. The operating modes as well as their associated parameters are switch selectable through a sophisticated control system.
