A Multimeagavolt Generator for Hemp Simulation

Abstract

A multimegavolt HPD pulse generator was developed and tested for the U.S. Navy for use in HEMP testing of aircraft. The pulser produces a repeatable, fast-rising, double-exponential HEMP pulse. The pulser utilizes state-of-the-art distributed peaking capacitors and a single greater than 2 MV output switch. Detailed electrical and mechanical analysis was done to assure the integrity and reliability of the pulser.
