HIGH-VOLTAGE PULSE GENERATOR Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: apparatuses for electrophysics including those generating heavy-current pulsed electron beams with short rise time. SUBSTANCE: pulse generator has long line, spark gap one of whose electrodes has projection and other one, recess; mentioned projection of one electrode is placed in recess of other electrode, foot of mentioned projection and edge of mentioned recess are rounded off and form spark gap; electrode projection and recess may be cylindrical, spherical, or conical, or else, projection of one electrode may be cylindrical and recess of other electrode, conical, or vice versa. EFFECT: reduced rise time of output pulse, improved operating reliability, increased output voltage. 6 cl, 4 dwg
