Description
Summary:The effects of inductance and capacitance on the output signal characteristics of the Pichugin pulse generator were studied. A technical innovation, consisting of an asymmetrical structure which allows an important decrease in rise time and an increase in output peak voltage, is proposed. The realization of a 175 kV, 210 ns rise time, six-stage asymmetrical pulser is discussed. The improvement compared with the performances of the equivalent symmetrical pulser, for the same rise time value, is about 50% more voltage. (Original abstract - amended)
