HIGH-VOLTAGE PULSE GENERATOR Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: high-voltage pulse technique. SUBSTANCE: generator has stepped shaping line with distributed parameters formed by at least two series-connected sections of homogeneous lines of equal electric length with ratio of wave impedances of second to first sections ρ₂/ρ₁, commutating discharger in input high-voltage gap of first section, and load connected to generator output; novelty is that n additional line sections of same electric length are connected to second section output; ratio of wave impedance of i-th additional section ρ_ad.i impedance ρ₁ is ρ _i/ρ₁=(i+2)(i+3)/2,, where i = 1,2,3...n is additional section number; load is connected through commutator to output gap of the last additional section. EFFECT: improved amplitude of square voltage pulse shaped across load.
