GENERATOR OF HIGH-VOLTAGE PULSES Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: radio engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has switched and non-switched lines which have equal electric length and shared high-voltage electrode. Discharger is connected to input of switched line. Grounded electrodes is connected to short-circuited line which electric length equals to electric length of switched line. Short-circuited line contains additional high-voltage electrode which is connected to high-voltage electrode and discharger. In addition device has load. Inductive resistance of lines conform to equation , where ρ₁ is inductive resistance of short-circuited line piece which contacts discharger, ρ₂ is inductive resistance of short-circuited line piece which contacts non-switched line, ρ₃ is inductive resistance of non-switched line, ρ₄ is inductive resistance of switched line. Grounded electrodes on side which is opposite to short-circuited line are connected to step transmitting line, which is designed as pieces of uniform lines. Electric length of each piece equals to electric length of switched line. Load is connected to output of step transmitting line either directly or through switching gate. Inductive resistance conform to equations , where m = 1, 2, 3, .. is number of pieces of step transmitting line, ρ_ti is inductive resistance of i-th piece of transmitting line. EFFECT: increased amplitude of rectangular voltage which is generated at output.
