X-RAY PULSE GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC H01J35/22 H05G1/02 

FIELD: roentgen diagnostics and therapy in medicine and various processes including flaw detection and scientific research.

SUBSTANCE: proposed X-ray pulse generator has X-ray tube effective surface area of whose point cathode and anode is not over 10^-6 m² and preset cathode-to-anode distance is minimum, 10^-3 m; it also has high-voltage pulse generator whose heavy-current high-voltage pulse shaper is made in the form of heavy-current high-voltage vacuum or gas-discharge switching unit incorporating electrode that controls switching unit triggering and is provided with additional high-voltage filter inserted in its circuit. Linear size of X-ray radiator focal spot is 0.1-0.5 mm. X-ray quanta energy can be regulated between 20 and 150 keV; X-ray pulse length is about 10^-8 to 10^-6 s.

EFFECT: reduced size of X-ray tube.
